Chapter Ninety-Eight: Coquettish and Angry Xuefu
Princess Yu's words, although she lowered her voice, were clear and entered everyone's ears.
Everyone knows that before Mu Xuefu married into the Chenwang Mansion, there were rumors about her punishment. Now that Princess Jingyu says this, everyone will associate the unknown person she said with those rumors that have already dissipated. Besides, in the past, there was nothing to do in the palace of King Chen, although sometimes Hua Meier would show off her might, but it was not as good as having a princess, and this palace had never been peaceful. These things are linked together, and people have to think about it.
And this also deeply touched Mu Xuefu's nerves, making her brain "uproar" and dragging some forgotten things out of the depths of her heart, reminding her of the slander she had received. She also knew that as long as Princess Yu said this today, within a few days, there would be a long and long story about her all over the street.
The source of her slander is Jingrong. And this slander, I am afraid, will continue with today's events.
Mu Xuefu glared at Jing Rong angrily, snatched the handkerchief in his hand and threw it to the ground. looked at Princess Yu coldly, and said coldly: "Princess Yu is too anxious, this person hasn't asked clearly." ”
"What's there to ask? She has already told the truth, is there still a doubt? Princess Yu threw her sword to the guards on the side, wiping her hands slowly with a silk scarf. Her hands were as white and tender as a girl, and no one would have thought that it was these hands that easily killed a person just now. After wiping her hands, she threw the silk silk to the ground, "Do you think there is someone else behind her?" I think you're overthinking. She bent the corners of her mouth, and said in a sighing tone: "Ah Rong, I think you should help your princess go back first, the blood on this face is really not good." Alas, it's a pity that such a good garment is stained with mud. ”
Mu Xuefu hated to be splashed with blood all over her body after killing someone, and in order to wash away the smell of blood on her body, she soaked for half an hour before she felt that the smell was covered by the fragrance of flowers.
After Jing Rong sent her back, she had to deal with the follow-up of this matter, and left after saying a few words. At this time, only she, Qing Zhuo, and Bai Yi were left in the room.
She was wearing a light pink dress, sitting quietly in front of the dresser, her face was reflected on the cold copper mirror, and everyone in the mirror was peach blossoms and scorching hibiscus, but her eyes were indifferent to the extreme.
After a long time, Mu Xuefu spoke: "Qing Zhuo, inform Hong Shao to go back to the Underworld Pavilion and check the details of this Li family for me." Can not be controlled by my soul dementorship, she is not just a lady. ”
Lee is dead, and everything is over. Emperor Xuanwu was furious when he heard that the Li family deliberately killed Princess Xianyu, and dismissed the Li family from his official position as an official in the court, and the entire Li family was expelled from the imperial city. From then on, the three generations of the Li family were not allowed to enter the court as officials, let alone set foot in the imperial city for half a step.
As soon as this matter is over, it will usher in the last festival of the first month, the Shangyuan Festival. The palace has always attached great importance to the Shangyuan Festival, the emperor will sacrifice "Taiyi" in Ganquan Palace every year on the night of Shangxin, and on the fifteenth night, he will also set up a banquet there, gather with the royal family, and spend the festival together, so as to show the emperor's affection, the grace of God, and the blessing of heavenly officials.
"A song of sheng is like the sea in spring, and the lights of a thousand doors are like day at night." In the Ganquan Palace, the lantern wheel is 20 zhang high, with brocade as the clothing, with gold and silver as the decoration, 50,000 lamps are lit, and the clusters are brilliant flowers and trees. Like the Milky Way rope bridge, like the stars Rob.
"Have you ever heard of the origin of lighting lanterns?" Jing Rong was greeting and drinking with several uncles and brothers, and the afterglow swept to Mu Xuefu looking at the lanterns hanging all over the hall with great interest, so he confessed and left, and returned to Mu Xuefu.
Mu Xuefu glanced at him and said bluntly, "No." ”
Jing Rong was really puzzled by Mu Xuefu's sudden attitude in the past two days, he didn't know where he provoked her, not only was he cold to him, but he was also not allowed to live in the East Courtyard, which made him sleepless for the past two days.
Although Mu Xuefu disdained to talk to him, how could Jing Rong miss such a day of reunion with her. He smiled, poured a glass of wine for her personally, and said persistently: "That king will tell you." ”
Without waiting for Mu Xuefu to refuse, he said: "Legend has it that a long, long time ago, there were many fierce birds and beasts, and they went around harming people and livestock, and finally people couldn't stand it anymore, so they organized to rebel against them. There was a mythical bird that landed in the world because it got lost, but it happened to be shot as a fierce bird. When the Emperor of Heaven found out, he was very angry, and immediately sent a decree, ordering the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to set fire to the world on the fifteenth day of the first month, and he would burn all the people and animals in the world to death. ”
Seeing Mu Xuefu put his eyes on himself, his eyes were also full of interest, and he continued: "The Emperor of Heaven has a daughter, who is kind-hearted, and he can't bear to see the innocent suffering of the people, so he risked his life and secretly drove auspicious clouds to the world to tell the people the news. When everyone heard the news, it was like a scorching thunder sounding on their heads, and they were so frightened that they didn't know what to do. After a long time, an old man came up with a plan, he said: "On the 14th, 15th, and 16th days of the first lunar month, every household puts up lanterns, lights firecrackers, and sets off fireworks at home. In this way, the Emperor of Heaven would think that the people were burned to death. Everyone nodded yes and went their separate ways. On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Emperor of Heaven looked down and found that there was a red light in the world, and the sound shook the sky, and it was like this for three consecutive nights, thinking that it was the flames of the fire, and his heart was happy. In this way, people saved their lives, and since then, in order to commemorate the aftermath of the catastrophe, every year on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, every house hangs lanterns and sets off fireworks to commemorate this day. ”
Mu Xuefu glanced at him, pursed her lips, and said, "I don't believe it, since it is a fairy in the sky, how can you say that if you go down to earth, you will go down to earth?" If as long as they are immortals, they can go down to earth at will, then they are all indifferent and ruthless immortals, and they are not so kind-hearted, otherwise, why not rescue those who are suffering? So you can't believe what you say. ”
Jing Rong smiled deeply, and his gentle demeanor was enough to fascinate thousands of girls, he approached Mu Xuefu and whispered in her ear: "This king didn't believe it at first, until he saw Fu'er, he knew that there are really fairies in this world." ”
Mu Xuefu wanted to push his hand away, tilted his head to look at him, and then looked at the glass of wine he had poured. Smile gently, like spring flowers breaking buds, blooming the fragrance of the hall. The resentment that piled up in my heart and mouth disappeared in that instant. She pursed her lips, looked at Jing Rong with disgust, and said coquettishly: "Who did you learn from the oil cavity slippery tone?" ”
"This king is telling the truth, where is the oil cavity slippery? Everyone said that this king was blessed and married someone who was more beautiful than the painting. The only person who this king thinks is more beautiful than a painting is a fairy in the sky. Jing Rong didn't care if anyone looked at them, she directly took Mu Xuefu into her arms and grinded in her ear, "The main room is too cold, and the bed is not as soft as the east courtyard, I really can't sleep." ”
Mu Xuefu raised her eyebrows, smiled at the corners of her eyes, and teased: "Then add a few more pots of charcoal fire, and then change to a softer bed." ”
Jingrong was choked, and then bit her earlobe, "The most important thing is that I am not used to it without you, Fu'er, I miss you." ”
A slight red tide line, brushing towards the peach blush, the cheeks are smiling and rippling, Mu Xuefu bows her head shyly, a cowardly and shy mood, coquettish. Seeing Jingrong's heart fluttering, she couldn't help but lower her head again, her chin rested on her shoulder, and her pulse whispered, "Do you want me?" ”
"Who misses you?" Mu Xuefu raised her shoulders, "It's not in shape, you get up quickly, it's not good for people to see." ”
"You are my wife, I am your father-in-law, what's wrong? They can watch it if they want to. Jing Rong didn't care, clasped her shoulders and didn't let her move.
Mu Xuefu was suppressed by him, so she leaned directly on him, and said with a little shyness: "Then you move back tonight." ”
"Tonight? I'm afraid it won't work, this king wants to be with others. Jing Rong sighed and frowned, as if he was very embarrassed.
Mu Xuefu furrowed her eyebrows, with a look of displeasure in her eyes. After thinking about it, he pushed Jing Rong away, pouted, and said, "Did you promise someone else to accompany her to spend this full moon night?" ”
"Yes, if you have promised others, you can't break your promise." Jing Rong looked at her angry appearance and raised the corners of her mouth, but immediately suppressed it. He let out a long sigh and said in a resentful tone, "Tonight is a very special day, so this king has to keep his promise. I can't accompany you, and this king will make up for it in the future. ”
"I don't need you to make amends, hmph, you can stay in the main courtyard and sleep in the future. Or make an appointment with someone and sleep with her. Mu Xuefu pursed her lips, her eyebrows furrowed together. She kept tearing the silk handkerchief, angry and angry in her heart. secretly thought that Jing Rong's words didn't count, and he said that she was just a woman, but now it's okay, it's only been a long time, and he has been happy with others in the past month, but he doesn't know that his performance like this is simply jealousy.
Seeing that her face was full of anger, Jing Rong didn't want to tease her anymore, pulled her and hugged her, and the more she struggled, the harder he imprisoned him. It wasn't until Mu Xuefu gave up struggling that he chuckled, "Fool, don't you remember what this king said?" This king said that there is only one of you, and you are really the only one. Looking at the smile stretched between Mu Xuefu's eyebrows, she felt a warmth flowing in her heart. He nodded her nose, "But this king really can't go back tonight, the whole city is on guard tonight, and this king, as the commander of the Gyeonggi Guard, must hold on all night." ”
"Are you deliberately teasing me?" Mu Xuefu snorted, and the powder fist fell on his body, and he beat it a few more times, but it only used one point of strength. Gently, it doesn't hurt at all when it hits him.
"What do you say?" Jing Rong's laughter was even more joyful.
"Nasty!" Mu Xuefu was even more angry, hugged Jingrong, buried him in his arms, and the look in his eyes suddenly brightened. The corners of her charming eyes flew, and a good idea was born in her heart.
