"The day after tomorrow...... It's time to go to the incense. Murong Chu sighed lightly.

Mo Li looked at him inexplicably: "Could it be that the day after tomorrow is a special day?" ”

Murong Chu's expression was a little gloomy, and it took a long time before he said, "The day after tomorrow is General Yun's birthday." ”

"General Yun? Is it the husband of the eldest princess? Mo Li guessed.

"It seems that Li'er learned a lot of things at the birthday banquet today."

"I heard what Sun Xiaoxue said, it is the ninth miss of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion."

"Sun Han's youngest sister?" Murong Chu asked, "That kid shouldn't be small, right?" ”

Mo Li nodded: "Thirteen, he doesn't look like Sun Han, but his temperament is about the same." ”

"What did she tell you?"

"Everything a child can know is nothing more than eavesdropping on adults." Mo Li told Murong Chu what Sun Xiaoxue said about the eldest princess.

Murong Chu chuckled: "That kid didn't eavesdrop on adults. ”

"The eldest princess guarded the border with General Yun, and when I returned to Beijing that year, I was in time for the autumn festival, and I saw General Yun for the first time on that autumn festival, and I also went to the border with General Yun and his wife that year."

"At that time, Hokgo did not invade the border on a large scale, but there was constant friction. General Yun was very strict in governing the army, but both officers and soldiers were very convinced of him. The climate at the border pass was harsh, and it was in the bitter cold for most of the year, and it was under those conditions that the eldest princess always followed the general. ”

"General Yun is also wholeheartedly devoted to the eldest princess, the two have been married for many years and have no heirs, many people in the court want to give their daughters to the general, but the general has always insisted that there is no concubine room, and there is not even a connecting room."

Later, Hokgo attacked in a big way, and the general was unfortunately injured and died. The eldest princess insisted on guarding the border pass until Beixiang signed the letter of surrender, and then returned to the capital with the general's ashes. ”

Murong Chu said intermittently, and Mo Li could hear that there was infinite sadness in his words.

In this era, if a woman is not out, even if she is a princess with a noble status, it is impossible to prevent her husband from taking concubines, but General Yun only guards the eldest princess.

The general was killed, and the eldest princess could have returned to Beijing, but she stayed at the border until the final victory, which shows how deep the relationship between the two is.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is a poignant love story, and only the parties concerned know how heart-wrenching the pain of losing a lover is.

Before I knew it, my eyes were covered with a layer of mist. Mo Li leaned his head on Murong Chu's shoulder: "What can be the status of honor, what is the value of brocade clothes and jade food, I dream back at midnight, and the people around me are already separated by yin and yang, I am afraid that there can only be a thousand tears." ”

"After returning to Beijing, I wanted to take you to meet the eldest princess, but I was afraid of disturbing her cultivation." Murong Chu stroked the top of Mo Li's hair and said, "I didn't expect her to like you quite a lot, I can accompany her more when I have time in the future." ”

"How do you know she likes me, maybe it's all for your sake." Mo Li sniffed and muttered.

Murong Chu chuckled: "You don't know the eldest princess, if she doesn't like it, no one will give her face." Although she doesn't care about the world now, the emperor and queen respect her very much, and those princes and princesses don't dare to disobey her. ”

"In this way, isn't it difficult for the eldest princess to wait?" Mo Li frowned slightly, and began to worry about how to get along with the eldest princess the day after tomorrow.

"Don't be afraid, you can do whatever you normally do, she won't embarrass you." Murong Chu pinched her little face and comforted.

There was a gentle knock on the door, and Ruoping said outside: "Miss, the shopkeeper Xu of Linglong Pavilion is here." ”

"Let him in." Mo Li jumped off the kang, and when she turned around, she saw someone with a black face and a twisted brow.

"Xu Minglang came to me, it must be a matter of Linglong Pavilion." Mo Li's explanation made Murong Chu's brows stretch slightly, but his face was still not very good-looking.

There are too many things to be busy with recently, and it's rare to find some time for the two of them to be alone, but they are mixed up, and no one will feel comfortable in their hearts.

Xu Minglang entered the room and saluted Mo Li first, raised his eyes and saw the great god on the kang, and immediately bowed to the end: "General Murong, there are some things to report to the eldest lady in the future." ”

Murong Chu just said "um", picked up the book on the kang table casually, and stopped looking at the two of them.

In fact, he knew in his heart what Xu Minglang was doing today.

Yu Mingxi was discovered by his secret guards as soon as he appeared in front of the Mofu Gate that day, and after that, his every move in the capital was under Murong Chu's control.

Sure enough, Xu Minglang took out a gift list from his arms: "Eldest Miss, this is something that Yu Gongzi sent to Linglong Pavilion, saying that it is to add makeup to the eldest Miss." Miss Ruoping has already arranged for someone to carry her to the storeroom. ”

"Oh? Yu Mingxi came to the capital? When did it arrive? Mo Li was very surprised, it was said that Yu Mingxi came to the capital and should have come to her as soon as possible, how could he go to Linglong Pavilion first?

"Yu Gongzi arrived a few days ago, but there is something to deal with at the Jingcheng City Security Bureau, and the eldest lady is busy here, so she sent the things to Linglong Pavilion. Yu Gongzi said...... Xu Minglang peeked at Murong Chu who was sitting cross-legged on the kang, and then said, "Yu Gongzi said that he will delay in the capital for a while this time, and then come to visit the eldest lady when he finds time." ”

"yes, I see." Mo Li nodded, "I've had a lot of things to do recently, and you should take care of Linglong Pavilion over there." ”

Xu Minglang hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Don't worry, eldest lady." Then I'll take my leave! ”

As he spoke, he saluted Murong Chu again and withdrew.

Mo Li opened the gift list at this time, and suddenly his eyes widened in shock, and he came to Murong Chu's side: "General, look at these things that Yu Mingxi sent." ”

"What do you call me?" Murong Chu stared at her and asked.

Mo Li raised his forehead, why is this guy always so serious: "Isn't it just a title, come, Achu, take a look." ”

Murong Chu glanced at the gift list, there were not many things listed on it, but each piece was a valuable boutique, the whole coral tree ornament, the gilded enamel porcelain vase, and the warm jade screen......

"He's not your partner in business, you're going to get married, so naturally the things he gives can't be too shabby." Murong Chu said disapprerovingly, "There are better ones in my house than this, if you like it, I will send someone to bring you some tomorrow." ”

"Don't, don't, don't," Mo Li hurriedly stopped, "You send it over, I didn't carry it back when I passed the door when I turned around, don't toss back and forth." ”

The words "pass the door" successfully pleased Murong Chu, he took out the gift slip from Mo Li's hand and put it on the kang table, pinched her little hand and said with a smile: "You want to pass the door in such a hurry?" ”

Mo Li looked at the sky speechlessly, and sighed in his heart, is there something wrong with the general's brain circuit? That's not the point, okay?
