Chapter 179: Out of the Plug (4)
On the second day of the boat, Xiaoyu woke up early, she slept well at night, and the gentle shaking of the hull of the boat was like a lullaby, which made her fall asleep quickly.
She sat in front of the vanity mirror, thinking about the problem while letting Bai Fu groom her. Her understanding of Beiqiang can be said to be a blank slate, even after the will of the relatives was issued, An Guogong collected all the books about Beiqiang that could be obtained in the capital, but he was still vague.
In the information that Xiao Yu learned, Beiqiang was similar to the Great Liao she had seen in the history books in her previous life, most of the commoners lived as nomads, and the nobles were greedy for pleasure and advocated Sinology. The royal city of Beiqiang is more than a thousand miles away from Heishui City, and in winter, the road from Heishui City to Beiqiang will be closed due to heavy snow.
Hey, knowing oneself and knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, and now he goes to Beiqiang and relatives, which is no different from sending sheep into the mouth of the tiger. Xiao Yu sighed softly with a bit of a headache.
Bai Fu, who was combing her hair, was startled, thinking that she had accidentally pulled Xiaoyu's hair. "County Lord?" Bai Fu stopped the comb and asked softly.
Xiao Yu looked at Bai Fu in the mirror and shook his head slightly, "It's okay, you can continue!" Well, by the way, give me a formal haircut, I'll see someone later! ”
At this moment, Xiao Yu made a decision, she resolutely pursed her lips, and strengthened her determination.
Bai Fu held her voice and quietly pulled a graceful and atmospheric Wangxian bun for Xiaoyu, and then put on the five-tailed phoenix crown symbolizing the county lord.
Xiao Yu looked at his dignified and graceful self in the mirror and smiled slightly, gently stroked the snail Dai, slightly thickened his eyebrows, and changed them to flat eyebrows. With such a change, the originally gorgeous and dazzling facial features suddenly added a touch of innocent temperament.
She changed the gorgeous lipstick color to a more natural bean paste pink, highlighting her own girlish temperament and easing the aggressive aura in her facial features.
"Okay, go and tell the second prince that I want to summon Murong Hua, the prince of Beiqiang!" Xiao Yu looked at himself with satisfaction and said slowly to Bai Fu.
Bai Fu, who was still sorting out Xiaoyu's clothes, paused slightly when she heard this, paused to hide the surprise on her face, and replied softly: "The slave obeys the order!" ”
After a while, the second prince hurriedly asked to see him outside the door. When Xiao Yu walked to the living room, the second prince, who was bowing his head and contemplating, suddenly looked up and saw Xiao Yu dressed up today, his eyes showed a hint of surprise, and he hurriedly bowed his head and said, "County Lord, is it a little anxious to summon Prince Murong today?" ”
The second prince almost didn't sleep all night last night, and he got up early this morning, thinking about what excuse he wanted to see Xiaoyu. Unexpectedly, he heard the news that Xiaoyu was going to summon Murong Hua.
Murong Hua's affection for Xiao Yu The second prince also vaguely knew a little, but he didn't know that Xiao Yu and Murong Hua had met countless times in private. For Murong Hua, the attitude of the second prince is contradictory.
Murong Hua and him are the same age, since Murong Hua came to the capital, they have been reading and learning calligraphy together, and it can be said that they spend much more time with Murong Hua than with his own brother, the crown prince.
But as he grew older, the second prince gradually realized the delicate relationship between Beiqiang and Datan. Therefore, his attitude towards Murong Hua was also contradictory. On the one hand, they are friends who have grown up together for many years, and on the other hand, Murong Hua will return to Beiqiang sooner or later.
If Emperor Tan is as cunning as a fox, Beiqiang is as brave as a wolf, and what will happen to a wolf cub who has been raised by a fox when he returns to the grassland?
Especially before the second prince left Beijing, Emperor Tan also gave him a secret decree, and specially told him that he could only open it when he left Heishui City and went to Beiqiang.
Xiao Yu sat down with a smile, looked at the second prince and said, "Thank you for your concern, but I think it's better for us to take the initiative to tell him than to let Prince Murong find out on his own!" Besides, we don't know anything about the situation in Beiqiang Royal City, and I'm afraid that we will have to rely on this Prince Murong more in Beiqiang in the future! ”
Although Xiao Yu didn't say what happened to Murong Hua, the two of them naturally knew it. There are many people on this boat, so it's better not to say it explicitly.
The second prince pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, just according to what the county lord said, but I'm worried about ......", he raised his eyes and glanced at Xiaoyu, and stopped talking.
Xiao Yu smiled slightly: "The second prince doesn't have to worry too much, since I dare to see him, I am a little sure!" ”
The second prince's eyes dimmed for a moment, and he muttered slightly: "I hope so." With that, he got up and walked out of the cabin and waved a sergeant.
The sergeant quickly received the order, and then saw the colorful flag waving and waving the flag to Murong Hua's official ship. Xiaoyu leaned in front of the window and watched silently, this was the first time she had seen the flags used to transmit messages between ships.
After exchanging flags a few times, the two boats slowly approached, and when the two boats were almost close together, Murong Hua jumped over from the boat he was on with a light skill, and his beautiful posture won the applause of the sergeants on both sides in unison.
Xiao Yu sat on the main seat of the living room and quietly waited for Murong Hua's arrival, this was the first time they met after the will was issued.
Murong Hua was very puzzled when he received the news that the Lord of Anping County saw him, he had almost no impression of the eldest lady of the Anguo Mansion, and he didn't seem to have any intersection with the eldest lady of Qi in his memory. Could it be that Xiaoyu has some book trust for her to pass on to herself?
As soon as Murong Hua thought of this, a stream of heat ignited in his chest, and a small flame exploded like a spark fire, causing his chest to ache violently.
Xiao Yu's farewell made him feel pain and regret, and he was hurt that Xiao Yu didn't even give him a message before leaving, which made him feel that he was really with passers-by in Xiao Yu's heart; I regret that I was too hesitant before, and I knew that Xiaoyu was going to leave him forever, so it was better to fight for it again, than to regret it like now.
Therefore, in the short distance to the meeting room, Murong Hua walked extremely hard. He hoped and feared that it was a letter left by Xiaoyu, so that at least it would show that there was still a place for him in her heart, and he was afraid that his hope would be disappointed, and in the end it would be an empty joy.
Murong Hua walked into the living room nervously, and there was a costumed beauty sitting on the main seat directly above the hall. Rao is Murong Hua is still far away, but he also feels that his face is compelling, and he can't look at it directly.
He hurriedly bowed his head and saluted according to the etiquette of the Han people, but heard the woman above him laugh softly, and then a voice haunting his soul sounded in his ears: "Prince Murong, don't be polite!" ”
"Little fish! What a small fish sound! Murong Hua's mind went blank when he heard the woman's first words, and a huge ecstasy filled his chest, making him lose the ability to think.
He didn't think much about it, and hurriedly raised his head, only to see that directly in front of him, a woman dressed in the county lord's costume seemed to be smiling, and slowly stood up from her seat.
I saw that she was wearing a five-tailed phoenix hairpin, wearing a carmine luanniao large-sleeved dress, the autumn waves were like water, the smile was crooked, and the childishness of the past had gradually disappeared on her face, replacing it with the peerless elegance, this familiar smile and playful look was not the little fish he thought about day and night.
Murong Huaqiang suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said with slightly red eyes: "You...... You're really ......", his words trembled slightly, and there was anticipation in his tone that he didn't even notice.
Xiao Yu didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and hurriedly nodded: "It's me, it's me!" Murong Hua's true feelings also infected Xiaoyu, and the four looked at each other, but they all had red circles under their eyes.
The two looked at each other wordlessly for a long time, it seemed that time had also stopped at this moment, and after a long time, Murong Hua was shocked by his gaffe, and hurriedly said: "You ......", at the same time, Xiaoyu also asked aloud: "Are you ......", as soon as the voices of the two came out, Fang Qiqi smiled.
Xiao Yu waved his hand, motioned for Murong Hua to sit down, and personally poured a cup of tea for Murong Hua. Without waiting for Xiao Yu to let go of the hand handing the tea, Murong Hua had already grasped Xiao Yu's hand and said eagerly: "Xiao Yu, what's going on, how did you become the county lord?" ”
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Xiao Yu hurriedly stretched out his hand and made a silent gesture on his lips, then put his head to Murong Hua's ear and said, "I'll come and kiss for my sister, this can't be quiet!" ”
Murong Hua was shocked and angry when he heard this, lowered his voice and said excitedly: "Nonsense! Don't you know what it means to be close? You...... You...... You're too daring! ”
Seeing that Murong Hua was so excited, Xiao Yu slowly withdrew his hand from Murong Hua's hand little by little, and said softly: "Everything is my sister's will, I can't watch my sister die!" ”
The ecstasy of seeing Xiaoyu for the first time had been washed away by the fact of kissing at this time, Murong Hua's heart was sore at the moment, and he secretly clenched his fists. Xiao Yu couldn't watch Miss Qi die, but he, but how could he watch his beloved woman go and kiss.
If Xiao Yu was willing to marry her sweetheart, then Murong Hua might be able to force his heartache to send blessings, but Xiao Yu was forced to kiss, and he was still married to his sworn enemy, then he Murong Hua would never allow this to happen!
At this moment, Murong Hua hated himself very much, hated that he was not strong enough to protect his sweetheart, and hated that he was in the royal court but had no place to stand with his bare hands.
Seeing Murong Hua gritting his teeth and his eyes red, Xiao Yu's heart was soft, and he said softly: "Why are you so troubled, I called you here today to discuss the matter of harmony with you!" ”
Xiao Yu's words flowed into Murong Hua's frantic heart like a clear spring, clearing his hot mind. Murong Hua realized his gaffe, slowly controlled his emotions, took a sip of tea, and said calmly: "What does the county lord mean by this?" ”
