Chapter 4 Play
Dressed in red, with gold threads pressed and white jade, there was a faint sadness on his face, "King Chu, what kind of person is it?" ”
Mu Yu Tao is two years older than the King of Chu, since he was a child and the King of Chu grew up, the Queen Mother is strict, when he was a child, the king was a quiet child, quiet reading, quiet eating, quiet learning to be the king, quiet not like a child. Therefore, Mu Yutao replied, "The king has been familiar with poetry and books since he was a child, and he has a gentle temperament, young and handsome, and must be a good match for the princess."
"Really? How handsome, more handsome than you? Luo Xi finally got a little interested, and her bright eyes suddenly looked at Mu Yutao, which seemed to be a little dazzling, forcing Mu Yutao to stagger her gaze.
"Princess...... It's a joke, minister...... It's better to be ashamed", the rare panic caused Luo Xijiao to laugh more than once.
Because of suspicion, the door was not closed, and a circle of Mu Yutao's subordinates stood outside the door, one by one, holding back a smile, and one of them even laughed out loud.
Mu Yutao's face remained unchanged, and Luo Xi smiled enough before he said, "Your Highness, the wedding date of August 15 has passed, and the king asked Weichen to ask about the wedding date?" ”
The room was quiet for a moment, and Luo Xi looked at Mu Yutao's lowered eyes and was silent, and said for a long time, "Yaoyao?" ”
Yaoyao stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, you have seen it earlier, the tenth day of October, and the nineteenth day of December are all good days for marriage. ”
"Then December 19. General Mu, what do you think? ”
At this time, it was only the middle of September, although the tenth day of October was in a hurry, but the gifts and utensils had already been prepared, and they were only about to be put on the table, and there were still three months before December 19, thinking of the night staring, Mu Yutao persuaded "Your Highness, the outside of the palace is not safer than the palace, you see ......"
Luo Xi was a little annoyed for some reason, and interrupted coldly, "It's December 19." ”
Mu Yutao was helpless, so he had to say yes.
The sky is getting cooler, the day is shorter, Mu Yutao is holding a wine glass, the imaginary night has not come, his hanging heart is more and more uneasy, suddenly a small arrow shot straight and nailed to the pillar beside him, Mu Yutao looked up, and the dark green skirt disappeared in the corner of the corridor.
He suspected in his heart that the arrow was deliberately missed, and the figure was very similar to Zhen Zhen next to the princess, and the direction of disappearance was also the backyard where the princess lived, I don't know what the hell was going on.
Mu Yutao pondered for a moment, but still followed.
In the backyard, two teenagers and a middle-aged man stood in the courtyard, and the palace maid Zhen Zhen stood behind the door expressionlessly, expecting Mu Yutao's arrival.
The young man's eyes lit up, looked at Mu Yutao, and said with a smile, "Great, you are wearing regular clothes, you don't need to change your clothes, we are going out for a walk, but we don't know the way, you can take us with you." ”
Mu Yutao was dumbfounded, "Huh? ”
The young man's expression was very innocent, and he asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Mu Yutao reacted, and hurriedly said, "No, princess Jinzhi Yuye, how can you leave the post station at will?" And said, "General Qin, why don't you persuade you?" ”
The middle-aged man was Qin Luohe, but he was even more innocent at this time, and said, "Persuade what?" Our Royal Highness the princess has never been to Chucheng, and the injuries on her body are almost healed, go out and take a look...... Isn't that normal? ”
"Forehead ......"
Mu Yutao was dumbfounded, he knew that Luo Xi's willful and reckless behavior could not help but be the credit of Lao Yan Wang, and the attendants around her also contributed a lot.
Mu Yutao said, "No, the princess's daughter, how can she walk around the streets like a homeless person in the market!" After a pause, he slowed down his tone again, "Wei Chen said bluntly, the princess didn't know that the etiquette law of Chu was like this, and it was really unetiquette for unmarried women to go shopping, and girls would not generally be seen traveling on the streets of Chu State. ”
Although the state of Chu does not pay attention to gifts, but the general daughters of wealthy families and ladies are not out of the door, and they have never heard of unmarried daughters wandering on the streets, such as Mu Yutao's sister, Mu Yudai, from birth to entering the palace to seal the concubine, she has never gone to the street.
Luo Xi flattened, and muttered, "It's also in Yan Kingdom, unmarried girls are not allowed to go on the street, and I thought that the Chu Kingdom was better, but I didn't expect it to be so rigid, hum, I really don't know who set the rules" raised a tone again, and said to Mu Yutao, "I'm dressed like this, you don't say it, who knows that I'm a woman." ”
Hearing this, Mu Yutao was speechless, although Luoxi's man's outfit looked immature, it was indeed suitable for her, heroic but not pretentious, simple but not poor and sour, a rich boy who was alive and well.
"That's not going to work either."
Seeing that Mu Yutao didn't let go, Luo Xi was a little annoyed, and said, "I'm inviting you to go with me, not asking for your opinion, you don't go, the three of us go, it's a big deal to go out and find someone who knows the way" said and was about to go out.
Mu Yutao was also a little angry at this time, he was the son of the prime minister, the nephew of the queen mother, the cousin of the king of Chu, and the brother of the concubine, no one had ever confronted him like this, he quickly dodged in front of him, and said, "Don't go!" ”
Luo Xi squinted at him, but said, "Zhen Zhen stopped him, we went out to play." ”
A whirlwind blew, Mu Yutao instinctively stretched out his hand to block, thinking of courtesy, but who knew that Zhen Zhen really started to stop people, and said angrily at the moment, "Your Highness!" Stop! Do you really want to make a fuss out loud and be known? ”
Luo Xi flashed to the side, and at this time, he watched the two of them dismantle the move with great interest, and replied, "So what?" I'm not married yet, who dares to stop me! Even your king will not be able to control me! ”
Mu Yutao was angry, but he was helpless, seeing that Zhen Zhen was getting better, the two of them were fighting more and more, and he was afraid of attracting the attention of others, so he had to stop, and persuaded for the last time, "Your Highness, sooner or later you will marry into the Chu Palace, don't you think about it for the future, don't you think about it?" If people know that you left the post house late at night to go out to play, how should the princes and nobles of the Chu Kingdom look at you? How will you establish yourself in the palace in the future? ”
Hearing this, Luo Xi lowered his head, seriously thought about Mu Yutao's question, and said as if he was a little uncertain, "I think...... Whether I can gain a foothold in the Chu Palace or not doesn't seem to have much to do with my character...... Right? ”
Mu Yutao was stunned for a moment, and what the king of Chu said to him before leaving came to his mind: "Princess Luoxi is the eldest princess of Yan State, her status is noble, Yan Country is strong, Chu State is weak, and the princess is of great benefit to Chu State after marrying her, so the princess must not be damaged at all, please come and escort her and protect her to marry into Chu Palace safely." ”
Yes, what the King of Chu wants is just the princess of Yan Kingdom, no matter whether she is ugly or beautiful, kind or vicious, as long as she is the princess of Yan Kingdom, she will be the mother of a country in Chu Palace.
Thinking of this, a faint sadness rose in Mu Yutao's heart, looked at Luoxi's expectant face and sighed, and said softly for a while, "Where are you going?" ”
As soon as the words came out, he felt a little remorseful, not to mention the killer organization like Yesha outside the post house, Prime Minister Mu Cheng's mansion was also eyeing him, he took the princess out like this, he was afraid that he would be targeted by his father's people.
Mu Yu Tao's sister is a concubine in the palace, with a prominent status, if there is no marriage, the queen's position is naturally hers, the prime minister's father dotes on his sister, and is competitive, planning for many years, a trick is wrong, how can he not hate in his heart, when the king of Chu asked Mu Yu Tao to welcome his relatives, he also thought that this would make Mu Xiang jealous.
However, Luo Xi seemed to be completely ignorant of the risks outside, and jumped in front of Mu Yutao, and said happily, "I heard that there are three good places to eat, drink and have fun in Chucheng, namely Yanyue Pavilion, Feilu Pavilion, and Qingqin Pavilion, you can take us to Yanyue Pavilion first." ”
