Chapter 332: The Man Who Was Forcibly Invited
"......Shhh Don't look, don't talk nonsense......"
Everywhere Mu Qingyan passed, he could hear the palace people hiding in the shadows and whispering, those palace people who thought that Mu Qingyan couldn't hear the words.
If she knew and could hear every word she said, she would probably want to bite her tongue off!
Mu Qingyan walked in the palace of Chu State gracefully, looking at the palace gardens, palaces, exquisite scenery, beautiful flowers and trees everywhere she went......
Of course, it was much more important to see these scenery than to tell the palace people that she could hear clearly, but she didn't think to tell them what she could hear.
"Die'er, how many years have you been in the palace?" Mu Qingyan walked and watched, many of the palace people in the palace were not very old, they were much younger, and every face was young and energetic.
However, such a young man is an ant-like existence, and he has never had any weight.
If she had spoken their whispers, she would have ended up in this majestic palace.
The maid who was sent by Chu Jin to wait beside Mu Qingyan was called Die'er, a delicate and lovely palace maid.
Hearing this, Die'er thought about it, and replied respectfully: "It's been about five years since the slave returned to Miss Mu. ”
Although Mu Qingyan knew that she had been in the palace for a long time, she was still a little shocked when she heard the time that came out of her mouth.
"You don't look very old, but you are already an old man in the palace, you really didn't expect it. Mu Qingyan looked at Die'er, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and couldn't help but sigh.
It's too early to leave for work!
Die'er listened, smiled slightly, and said: "Miss Mu doesn't know, the palace is younger than the slave maid, but there are many people who have been on errands in the palace for a long time. Besides, the slave and maid are not young, and the slave and maid have already passed the war. ”
Speaking of Ji Xuan, her face couldn't help but turn red, and she was so cute and pitiful in Mu Qingyan's eyes!
Mu Qingyan knew that at this age, they could be a big girl who could get married, but in her eyes, she was a child who had not reached adulthood!
When, a child told her sensibly that she was not young, and her nose was inexplicably sore.
What a cruel world this is!
Isn't it supposed to be carefree at the age of fifteen?
At the age of fifteen, he worked in the palace for five years, which means that he was already waiting in the palace at the age of ten.
Ten years old, ten years old in her impression should still lie in the arms of her parents and roll coquettishly, at this age to have to serve others, it really feels sad and distressed to think about it.
Mu Qingyan looked at Die'er, who had low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and saw that she had not yet reached the height of her shoulders, and couldn't help but ask, "Why did your family send you to the palace at such a young age?"
Die'er obviously didn't expect Mu Qingyan to ask like this, she looked up at Mu Qingyan for a while, and then she was shocked to realize that she had overstepped, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "The slave has overstepped, please forgive Miss Mu!"
Mu Qingyan frowned at Die'er's action, stretched out her hand and pulled her up, and said, "Don't kneel down without moving, and plop down and say kneel and kneel, don't the knees of your legs hurt?" Anyway, my ears hurt when I heard it. Don't kneel in front of me later, I don't like to see it. ”
Die'er didn't expect Mu Qingyan to be angry at all, but instead pulled her up from the ground herself.
"Thank you, Miss Mu, slave and maid, thank you......" Die'er was full of gratitude and didn't speak, but was stopped by Mu Qingyan's movements.
Mu Qingyan said: "Okay, okay, don't thank you, you're not wrong, why are you kneeling! Besides, are you going to trap me in the situation of a wicked person?"
When Die'er heard this, her face changed with fright, and she immediately said: "The slave is wrong, the slave doesn't dare to ......" said, and wanted to kneel down again, but fortunately, Mu Qingyan grabbed it.
Looking at Die'er like this, Mu Qingyan really had a desire to look up to the sky and howl.
Die'er is not Luan'er and Yan'er after all, if it were the two of them, she just spoke like this, and the two of them would have already started to damage her!
At this time, I want to be a big end of the dynasty even more......
"If you don't want to talk about the situation in your family, don't say it, I just suddenly asked curiously. Mu Qingyan thought about it, it's better to continue to wander around alone and watch the scenery, then, what are you doing gossiping!
Hey! Seeing the pitiful and frightened appearance of the little maid around her, she is purely looking for abuse of herself!
Die'er shook her head and said, "The slave is willing to say that the reason why the slave was distracted just now was because the slave had never met a master like Miss Mu, so she didn't know how to answer all of a sudden." ”
When Mu Qingyan heard this, she couldn't help frowning, and said, "Why, do you often meet masters who treat you very badly when you are on an errand in the palace?"
Thinking of the palace people, eunuchs and palace maids are all at the bottom, and the existence of being oppressed, I can't help frowning.
So, what exactly does it take for young children to become so cautious?
Die'er said softly: "The errand and slave in the palace, how can the master not be chosen by those of us who are slaves." Besides, the slaves and maids were sold by the family and belonged to the royal slaves, and the masters in the harem were able to take out their anger on us slaves. There has never been a master who treats slaves and maids like Miss Mu. ”
When Mu Qingyan heard this, she said proudly: "Okay, you follow me, I guarantee that you will have meat to eat! As long as I am here, you will not have the days of being bullied." ”
Die'er looked at Mu Qingyan's words so arrogantly, her eyes were full of admiration, however, she suddenly said: "Then, Miss Mu is going to be the emperor's imperial concubine! It's really good, although those people are saying that you are not good behind their backs and don't want you to be the emperor's imperial concubine." Although there was no movement on the queen's side, the slave maid still heard the big palace maid next to the queen say that you were a demon girl and confused the emperor or something. ”
"These, the slaves and maids all think that they are spreading rumors, how can you be so good, such a beautiful person as a fairy, how can you confuse the emperor......"
When Mu Qingyan heard her words, her head was big, her head hurt, her temples couldn't help twitching, and she said, "Stop, stop, stop! When did I say that I wanted to be your emperor's imperial concubine?"
was reminded of this bad thing all of a sudden, and her good mood disappeared in an instant.
Hearing this, Die'er's eyes flashed with a look of disappointment, and she asked in a low voice: "Then are you leaving?" You are amazing, don't slaves and maids go back to the days of being beaten and scolded at will!"
Mu Qingyan stretched out her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, and said, "Die'er, I didn't come here out of my own volition, and I don't belong here. ”
"Why?" Die'er's small face was full of confusion and puzzlement.
Mu Qingyan listened, and this time she didn't answer or explain.
If I told her something, she wouldn't understand.
Besides, in the backyard of the palace, the partition wall has ears, and she doesn't want to be caught, and she is already under the control of Chu Jin at the moment, so she doesn't want to throw her life in the palace of Chu State.
Become a pile of white bones among the thousands of white bones, after all, this is not the Great Duan Dynasty, if it is calculated or something, it is really impossible to prevent it.
In these days in Chu State, sometimes, she would wake up in the middle of the night, sleepless, encountered, rained, and the rain outside the window dropped the temperature.
In such weather, the bed is so cold, reaching out to touch the familiar temperature and warmth, but when the hand falls on the bed on the side, it is empty and cold, and the hand is full of cold is no longer the blazing warmth.
Every time at this time, she felt as if she was about to cry, and there was an indescribable uncomfortable feeling in her heart.
It's as if there are a lot of ants in her heart that are gnawing at her heart little by little, and this pain is so uncomfortable.
However, every time she wanted to leave all at once, but thinking that there was no perfect border defense line in the Daduan Dynasty, and she didn't know if there was any internal trouble in the Daduan Chaotang, so every time, she endured it.
However, the more she endured, the more empty her body became, like a walking corpse with only an empty shell, and the person wandering in the palace of Chu was not a person, but a corpse.
This kind of request is not possible, and the pain of not seeing each other is even more terrifying, how much Mu Qingyan wants to see King's Landing now, and dreams of having a pair of wings, and can fly over thousands of mountains and rivers in an instant and return to the arms of that person in Daduanchao.
What is King's Landing doing now?
She knew that King's Landing had returned to the capital of Daduan, that the rebellion in Hengzhou had been put down, and that the grain, grass and supplies escorted by Ye Jingzhi had been successfully delivered to the military camp on the border.
However, she didn't know what happened to King's Landing now, and after knowing that she was brought back to Chu by Chu Jin, was he angry again?
Did he be injured in the battle of Hengzhou, was he vomited blood by Chu Jin, and how did he handle the affairs in the court......
Without a word, the Medicine King Valley said goodbye, they were so apart, she even obediently followed Chu Jin to Chu State, it is estimated that he also looked like thunder when he knew!
Of course, many times, she has thought of ways to find out the news of the Daduan Dynasty from other people's mouths, but unfortunately, the palace people in the palace have become fine, where can they really help her find out the news.
Even if she spent a lot of money to ask the palace people to help spread the message, so far, no palace people dare to agree to help do such a thing.
In this way, she has not received any useful news so far, and more news has been heard from Chu Jin's mouth, which is really ironic!
Originally, there was a thick layer between her and Chu Jin, and there was even more grievances between the previous generation, and she didn't understand his persistence.
The two of them are simply people of two worlds......
Mu Qingyan walked, watched, and wandered, however, at this moment, there was no longer that interest in seeing the scenery.
After walking for a long time, Mu Qingyan didn't want to go anymore, and walked to a gazebo to look at the lake under the gazebo.
This is an inland lake, which is artificially built, and the pavilion is built on top of the lake, and there are many small fish swimming in the clear water, so cheerful.
In the state of Chu, if she really can't stand the emotions of longing, she will do this, find some similar memories and look at it to relieve the longing in her heart.
This method is actually useless, even psychological comfort can't give much, but she still doesn't want time to be buried slowly.
After all, time is the most powerful thing in the world, and it can quietly strangle everything, and besides, it has been a while here in Chu State, and the things in my memory seem to be blurred, so this palace building is very different, even if it doesn't overlap with what I have in my mind, I can take a look.
The capital of Daduan.
Inside the Four Kings' Mansion.
In the summer of the capital, the flowers are full of flowers, the green leaves are shady, and the sky is even more blue with a few white clouds.
Nangong Jin and Chu Xun, the two of them sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, and in front of them was a stone table with a plate of maroon melon seeds, and the two of them grabbed a handful of melon seeds very unobtrusively and began to eat melon seeds.
While eating melon seeds, he looked at the guards of the Four Kings' Mansion around him, and from the perspective of the two of them, he was guarded by the guards.
Chu Xun knocked a melon seed, looked at the flowers in the back garden of the Four Princes' Mansion and said, "Nangong Jin, didn't you say that it won't be easily discovered?" Now, we are all here, or have we been arrested, do you want to explain it to me?"
Nangong Jin knocked a melon seed and a melon seed, and then sneered disdainfully: "It's not because you're dragging your feet, you have to look at that procrastination, at this time, you still have the face to say." ”
Chu Xun was angry, grabbed a large handful of melon seeds fiercely, and said: "You are too good at shirking responsibility, how could I have thought that the people of King's Landing would find it, I don't believe in your ability......"
'Ka Ka Ka ......' melon seed shells kept falling in his hands and landed on the floor of the Four Kings' Mansion.
Nangong Jin raised his eyelids, glanced at him with slanted eyes, and said with disdain: "Don't put a high hat on me, the premise of what I said will not be discovered is to hide yourself well, not to swagger around like you." ”
Chu Xun was originally like an angry bird, snorting melon seeds, but when he heard this, he immediately stopped and said, "I, are you swaggering everywhere? Isn't that all normal outdoor activities!"
"Why can't the melon seeds stop your mouth? Is it uncomfortable to lie at home, the food is not delicious, or the beauties at home are not beautiful?" Nangong Jin said with disdain: "You have to jump outside not long after, do the people in King's Landing eat dry food? I think you are sick and have no brains!"
When Chu Xun heard this, he was embarrassed, and said with a smile: "It's enough for you to have a brain!
Of course, he wouldn't say why he did it.
After that, he really couldn't help but want to see her, but he didn't expect it, and when he woke up, so many things happened......
Something irreversible still happened, which made his mood really dull and uncomfortable.
Nangong Jin looked at his expression, understood in his heart, and asked: "What? Do you still miss someone else? Isn't there news from Chu Guo, Chu Jin is going to accept her as the imperial concubine, what else do you have to worry about? Besides, she has defeated 100,000 elite soldiers alone, this is a rare ability, you are sad and sad! Without her, we don't know where to jump up and down to escape for our lives, you can be content, she is still alive now." ”
"Although I don't know how she is doing, however, Chu Jin is so obsessed with her, presumably she is also living a worry-free life in the palace of Chu State, what else are you worried about?"
Chu Jin raised his foot and kicked it over, and he had the intention to kick Nangong Jin, a gloating guy, off the stool, but unfortunately Nangong Jin was prepared to dodge it.
He had no choice but to point at Nangong Jin's nose and said angrily: "She is alone in the palace of Chu State, and she doesn't know when she will be able to come back to Daduan." We don't know when we'll be able to meet again, and besides, don't you know those women in the palace of Chu State? I think about how to kill every woman in it all the time, the queen of Chu Jin, who are you? Is that woman a fuel-efficient lamp? No, do you think I'm worried?"
Nangong Jin raised her eyebrows and glanced at him, and said: "Mu Qingyan is like a fuel-efficient lamp, and only those who meet Mu Qingyan can be called pitiful! Put away your unnecessary worries, she will live better than all of us." Trust me!"
"You, this is standing and talking without back pain!" Chu Xun glanced at him and said disapprovingly.
Nangong Jin listened, smiled, and said: "I just don't have back pain when I stand and talk, what can you do? Anyway, you and I were both arrested by the overlord of King's Landing, what's the matter? Do you still want to fight your way out of the encirclement from here, and then kill all the way to the palace of Chu to save people?"
When Chu Xun heard this, he instantly became weak and said: "You said it so easily, as if we can really hit the palace of Chu State! Not to mention that the border defense of Chu State is now the strongest on the entire continent, and it is also a distance of 108,000 miles to go to the capital of Daduan, you will use it to ridicule me, you should show me first, and show me when you hit." ”
Nangong Jin looked around, and then said in a low voice: "I think King's Landing has the absolute right to speak in Daduan, besides, King's Landing's own army is very powerful, so powerful that Chu Jin is extremely jealous, do you want to please him." Even if we return to Chu State in the future, we don't have to be afraid, when we are desperate, we can still have King's Landing to support us. ”
"Well, my suggestion is good, isn't it?"
After Chu Xun heard this, he was even more worried, and his mood of wanting to beat Nangong Jin was even more vigorous.
His identity in the Chu State is very embarrassing, and his identity in Daduan is also very embarrassing, if he really sells well to King's Landing, what will it become?
Of course, what Nangong Jin said is also true, as long as he expresses his submission to King's Landing, then he will definitely not flee in all directions like he was chased and killed by Chu Jin's people in the past.
However, as the eldest prince of the Chu State, he has been educated by imperial power since he was a child, and it is absolutely impossible for him to bow his head and kneel and lick King's Landing.
What Nangong Jin said was not wrong, in terms of strength, he should really hug King's Landing's thighs.
Chu Jin has 100,000 elite iron cavalry soldiers and 200,000 elite infantry soldiers in his hands, and the border battle with Daduan only used 100,000 elite soldiers, and he has almost broken through Daduan's border defense line.
If, with his current strength, with the small and pitiful force in his hands, he doesn't know how many years it will take to take back the throne of Chu from Chu Jin?
At that time......
Layers of worries piled up in his heart, Chu Xun was overwhelmed for a while, his chest rose and fell hard, and then, he raised his head and took a breath, at this time, he just saw Shao Dong's face.
How long has Shao Dong been standing here?
Chu Xun squinted his eyes, estimated it, and then snatched the melon seeds in Nangong Jin's hand, raised his hand and aimed at Shao Dong......
The sound of 'boom, boom' sounded, and the melon seeds shot towards Shao Dong at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye, followed by a 'knock' sound, and I saw a few small black dots on the pillar beside Shao Dong.
Without waiting for Chu Xun to speak, Shao Dong had already walked into the pavilion.
Chu Xun looked at Shao Dong, his face was not very good, thinking that he and Nangong Jin were commanded by Shao Dong when they were rounded up, and snorted.
Seeing this, Nangong Jin raised a kind smile unique to a businessman, and praised: "Steward Shao is so skilled, not bad, not bad." ”
"If he is not good, how can he catch us? Not only is he good, but his head is full of insidious tricks. Chu Xun took the teacup on the side with one hand and said.
When Shao Dong heard this, he was not annoyed, and said: "The eldest prince, you are serious, and I am just a duty." ”
Chu Xun glanced at him, drank all the water in the cup, and said coldly: "Then you should tell me, what is your master doing when he arrested us?"
Shao Dong was on the side and said: "I really don't know what the master is going to do, I just act according to the master's wishes, as for what the master wants to do, I have to wait for the master to come, you can ask!"
"......" Nangong Jin was confused when she heard this, frowned and asked, "What is King's Landing doing with so much effort to arrest us?"
Chu Xun said without moving: "Let them stay out of the way if there is nothing to do, we are not interested in being guests here in the Four Kings' Mansion!"
When Shao Dong heard this, he was not annoyed, he still stood there as always, and said, "I'm afraid you two can't leave so quickly, my master wants to see you." Otherwise, do you think I'm going to be here?"
When Chu Xun heard this, he became even more annoyed, and said with a frown: "Let that guy in King's Landing come out to see me quickly, doesn't he want to see me?
Shao Dong raised his eyebrows.
Nangong Jin's eyes sank.
"My master has a lot of opportunities, unlike the two of them...... So idle!"
The meaning is very obvious, the master of his family is not something you can see when you say you can meet.
"You...... Then when he has time to see us again, we will also be very busy!" Chu Xun was almost angry by Shao Dong's words.
When Nangong Jin heard this, he couldn't help but scold in his heart, what the hell, he is the owner of the first village in the world, where is he idle?
Tens of millions of silver fell at his fingertips, okay!
"Nangong Jin, let's go!"
Nangong Jin: "What?"
Chu Xun's eyes widened angrily at Nangong Jin's reaction, and he looked like he was going to eat him.
"This king won't let you go, can you go?"
As soon as this voice came out, everyone's eyes fell on the tall figure that came slowly......
