Chapter 114: General Ben never had a cousin
A strong sense of suffocation hit, Mo Liyin clung to the lattice tightly by the window, this armored man was just like what she had seen in her dream, even if she was deceived by him and broke her heart, she was still deeply attracted at the moment she saw him.
The crowd was boiling because of Murong Chu's appearance, and many of them were young girls who cast adoring glances at him with shame, but they secretly scolded in their hearts: God really favors him and makes him so good-looking. But he failed God and relied on his face to confuse all beings.
Murong Chu, who had been silent like a statue, suddenly raised his head slightly when he passed by the teahouse, and his burning eyes swept to the open window on the second floor.
Mo Li shrank back as if he had been electrocuted, and hid behind the curtains, and when it was over, he saw it, he wouldn't think that he was here to greet him like those.
Even though it was only for a moment, Murong Chu saw a touch of lilac flash through the window and hid, it was his Li'er's favorite color, and she actually came.
The corners of his lips unconsciously hooked slightly, and Murong Chu felt that the stone that had been blocked in his chest since last night seemed to be loosened, making him feel that his breathing was much easier. Maybe the little girl was angry with him because he returned to Beijing a few days late, or maybe she came back suddenly and didn't tell her in advance? Anyway, she was able to come today, at least a little less angry.
Ruoping helped the pale Mo Li to sit down, poured a cup of tea and stuffed it into her hand: "Miss, why are you doing this?" ”
Mo Li glared at her fiercely, and looked at the two teenagers in the window with a weak heart, but fortunately, Mo Jinyu and Su Zi'an's attention was all on the team entering the city downstairs, and they waved their arms vigorously like the lively people, shouting "General Murong is mighty".
It wasn't until the team completely disappeared that the two returned to the table, one of them picking up a cup of tea and gulping it down.
"Sister, General Murong is really as wise and martial as the legend." Mo Jinyu's little face was still red because of excitement, and he didn't notice Mo Li's abnormality at all.
However, Su Zi was more relieved, and asked with some concern: "Why is Sister Mo's face so bad, is it uncomfortable?" ”
Mo Li smiled slightly: "It's nothing, it may be that there were a lot of people just now, it was too noisy, and I was a little out of breath." ”
was stirred up by this drama of officers and soldiers entering the city, Mo Li didn't have the heart to go to see the shop, said hello to Su Zi'an and Mo Jinyu, and went home directly with Ruoping.
Murong Chu left the two hundred new guards brought into the capital outside the imperial city, and led the deputy generals and the army to wait at the gate of the palace, and saw the carriage of the Beining Royal Mansion parked there.
"Lord Wang, the prince is here!" Uncle Xiang, the confidant of Murong Jingzhong, the king of Beining, said in a trembling voice to the carriage.
The curtain of the carriage was raised, and Uncle Xiang helped Murong Jingzhong out of the carriage.
Murong Chu turned over and dismounted, took a few steps and knelt on one knee: "Father is well!" ”
"Well, Chu'er is flat." Although Murong Jingzhong's face was very calm, if you looked closely, you would find that there were tears in his eyes.
Uncle Xiang stepped forward to help Murong Chu up, and knelt on the ground with the hem of his robe, with tears in his eyes: "The old slave greets the prince, the prince is back!" ”
"Uncle Xiang doesn't have to be polite."
Murong Jingzhong looked his son in front of him up and down, and nodded: "It's okay, like a general." Let's go, this king will go with you to face the saint. ”
Murong Chu clenched his fists slightly, letting Murong Jingzhong walk in front.
Entering the palace gate, the chief eunuch Ji Gonggong beside the emperor personally led the way and brought the father and son directly to the imperial study.
The current emperor Zhong Zetian is wearing a yellow robe and sitting behind the dragon book case, and after the Murong father and son pay their respects, they stand with their hands down.
The emperor put down the fold in his hand and looked at Murong Chu carefully, and suddenly laughed and said, "My Zhenguo general has finally returned, is the journey going well?" ”
"Thanks to the emperor's grace, everything is fine." Murong Chu clenched his fists and arched his hands.
The emperor casually asked a few words about the situation of the northwest frontier, and coughed a few times during the period, and Gonggong Ji hurriedly brought cough soup and served the emperor to drink it.
After speaking for less than half an hour, the emperor's face showed obvious tiredness, and Murong Jingzhong slightly clenched his fists and called "Emperor" to stop talking.
The emperor knew that he was worried about his body, and it was not easy to say it directly, so he waved his hand and said, "I am a little tired, your father and son should go back to the house to reunite." ”
Out of the palace, someone took the first step back to the Beining palace to report the news, there was already a large group of people waiting in front of the palace, everyone welcomed the father and son into the main hall of the palace, Murong Chu kowtowed to Murong Jingzhong, but he stood up, and shouted "Princess" to the Lu family.
Although Lu was unhappy in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything.
Murong Chu sat down next to Murong Jingzhong's subordinates, and Murong Qi, the son of the Lu family, and his wife Liu came to salute, although Murong Qi was one year older than Murong Chu, but according to his identity, Murong Chu was the eldest son of the Beining Palace, the heir of the prince, even if he was the elder brother, he had to be subordinate to him.
Next were the daughters of Murong Jingzhong's two concubines, Aunt Zhao's daughter, and Aunt Gao's son and daughter came to see her. The eldest of the three children is Aunt Gao's son Murong Rui, who is only fifteen years old this year, while the two girls, Murong Wan and Murong Jiao, one is thirteen, and the other is only ten years old.
Murong Chu only nodded slightly to his younger brother and sister, who had barely met, and each of them was rewarded with a small golden squirt.
After everyone retreated, Gao Zhilan walked out from behind Lu's graceful Tingting, only to see her wearing a pale pink dress, her thin waist was tied with a cloud belt, which highlighted the small waist that was not in a hand, a colorful streamer in her hair swayed, and the long beads trembled slightly on her temples, and her charming face was covered with delicate makeup, and her eyes were clear and longing.
She walked in front of Murong Chu, and Ying Ying was blessed: "Zhilan greets my cousin!" ”
In the face of such a beautiful woman, Murong Chu didn't even raise his eyelids, let alone give a response, as if there was no one in front of him at all, he picked up the tea bowl on the side table and scraped the floating tea on it with a lid.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, and Lu reminded in a low voice: "Shizi, my cousin is talking to you." ”
Murong Chu took a sip of tea, his face was still cold: "General Ben's mother is the only daughter of her grandfather, and she has no brothers and sisters, so General Ben has never had any cousins. ”
In one sentence, Gao Zhilan's face changed and changed, her lips were pursed, and a pair of phoenix eyes endured it so that the tears did not fall.
Lu glanced at Murong Jingzhong, who was drinking tea casually, and called softly, "Lord Wang......"
Murong Jingzhong coughed lightly twice and stood up: "Chu'er, go to the outer study with your father, your father has something to tell you." ”
As soon as the father and son left, Gao Zhilan threw herself into Lu's arms, and tears fell down: "Auntie......"
