Chapter 15 False is True and False
A few days later, on the day of Humu, Jing Rong sent someone to post to Mu Fu early in the morning, and left the palace with Mu Xuefu an hour later.
King Chen's carriage slowly drove through the long street, and Mu Xuefu and Jing Rong sat side by side, with no room in between, neither intimate nor estranged.
Today, Mu Xuefu is wearing a snow-white Tianshui blue brocade dress, embroidered with elegant and luxuriant light blue Lingxiao flowers in the skirt folds, and a green silk is simply coiled into a Chaoyun near fragrant bun, with only a few blue Lingxiao flowers and a branch of hibiscus jade on the bun, but she looks ethereal and beautiful, like a fairy.
In fact, she was reluctant to return to the Mu family, especially with Jingrong. First, because he was afraid that he would realize that he was not Mu Zhaolin's daughter, and secondly, because in addition to Mu Yurong and Mu Zemao, the others in this Mu Mansion were not only not close to her, but also had a bit of hatred.
Mu Zhaolin rescued her from the General's Mansion and brought her home, and only said that it was the daughter born to him by the outer room, but because the outer room died of illness, Mu Xuefu was brought home without anyone to take care of her, and she was recorded in the name of Mu Zhaolin's first wife and became a concubine.
At that time, Mu Zhaolin straightened her second aunt Shen Ruoshui to become her stepmother, and she was extremely disgusted with this Mu Xuefu, who had been fostered outside, and never gave her a good look. And the children she gave birth to often called Mu Xuefu a wild seed in the open and in the dark, and even the people in other houses did not like her.
But at that time, Mu Xuefu had just experienced the pain of losing her relatives, and she was a strong character, although she was young, she had General Mu's blood flowing and cleaned up all the children who insulted her. Over time, no one dared to provoke her, and they all hid from her. Only the pair of children left by Mrs. Xian, that is, Mu Yurong and Mu Zemao, can still say a few words to her.
Later, her master, the Pavilion Master of the Shadow Yin Pavilion, accidentally met her when he was a guest in Mufu, and found that her bones were surprising, and she was a good material for martial arts, so she explained to Mu Zhaolin that she wanted to accept her as an apprentice. She thought that as long as she learned martial arts, she could avenge her father's mother, and she agreed to this without thinking about it, but she didn't expect that this practice would be eight years. And in the past eight years, she only returned to the Mu family to live for a few days on the day of her parents' death, and spent the rest of the time with her sisters and brothers in Lingshan.
The Shadow Pavilion is called a cult on the rivers and lakes, and the pavilion master Dai Tianming's martial arts are strong and unfathomable, and he is in charge of the most powerful intelligence and killer organization on the rivers and lakes, and is a thorn in the side of those who claim to be decent people in martial arts. He has four great disciples under him, namely the Rakshasa Marquis, the Nine Poison Demon Queen, the Dragon Prince, and the Dream Fairy. But there are only their names on the rivers and lakes, but no one has ever seen their true faces, because those who have seen their faces are dead. And Mu Xuefu is the little sister of these four beloved apprentices - Dream Fairy.
There were no words all the way, only the sound of deep and shallow breathing lingered between the two people, but they didn't feel embarrassed, they all looked light, as if this was the way for two people to get along.
"Lord Wang, the Prime Minister's Mansion has arrived." The carriage slowly stopped, and Zhou Cheng's voice came from outside, breaking the silent atmosphere in the carriage.
Jing Rong said "um", then stood up and stretched out his hand to Mu Xuefu, and said softly: "We have arrived." ”
Mu Xuefu casually glanced at his hand, and thought for a moment before putting it on his hand.
Mu Fu began to prepare since he received the post, and he had been waiting at the door for a long time at this time, "Xia Guan has seen the prince, the princess, the prince and the princess Wan'an." Mu Zhaolin took a few steps forward to greet him and saluted.
Jing Rongxu helped him and said, "Time is tight, this king won't bother, right?" ”
"Where is it, it is an honor for the Xiaguan family to come to the door, please come in." Mu Zhaolin smiled all over his face and made a gesture of welcome, but in his heart he was wondering why this King Chen came over today.
The men who greeted them outside were all Mufu men, and the female relatives were not suitable to go out to meet guests, so they only waited in the backyard. If there is a summons, you can go to the front hall to accompany you.
Jing Rong is a prince, and his status is noble, so he naturally wants to sit on the upper seat of the main hall. In the other position, it was supposed to be Princess Chen to sit, but Mu Xuefu refused, and personally helped Mu Zhaolin to sit down, but he sat on the first Tuanfu chair on the left.
"Fu'er has been spoiled by the lower officials since she was a child, I don't know if there is anything that offended the prince, and I ask the prince to forgive me." Mu Zhaolin made a loving fatherly appearance, looking at Mu Xuefu lovingly, his eyes were full of doting. At first glance, people will think that this is a father who loves his daughter very much.
Jing Rong took a sip of tea, the aroma overflowed in his mouth, he raised his eyebrows quietly, glanced at Mu Xuefu, and said with a smile: "Fu'er is gentle and intelligent, she is the interpretation flower of this king, how can you offend this king?" The left minister is serious. The affection contained in his eyes is strong, and at a glance, he can see that this Prince Chen values Princess Chen very much.
Mu Xuefu looked back at him calmly, the curvature of her mouth was just right, and there was a layer of spring water in her eyes, like a pair of mandarin couples who were in love with each other. silently looked at Mu Zhaolin beside him, and said coquettishly: "How can a daughter be as unbearable as her father said?" My father is used to me, but not to the point of getting used to it, I am angry that you slander my daughter like this in front of the prince. ”
"This kid!" Mu Zhaolin Lang Lang smiled, the more fatherly he looked, stretched out a finger and nodded at her, and said to Jingrong: "The prince has seen it, it is all used to being given by the lower officials, and it has never been big or small." If she collided with the prince somewhere, please ask the prince Haihan. ”
In front of Jingrong, Mu Xuefu has always been changeable. But the only thing I haven't seen is this coquettish appearance, it seems that Mu Zhaolin really loves her. He chuckled lightly and said, "Fu'er is reckless and cute, which is commendable, and this king can't cherish it, so how can he blame it?" Please rest assured that this king will treat Fu'er well and let her retain this temperament. ”
"Father, you saw it, even the prince said so, don't expose my shortcomings." Mu Xuefu got up, Lianbu moved lightly to Mu Zhaolin's side, pulled his arm, and said coquettishly: "If you say that I am not good, the prince will not like me, and then I will only ask you." ”
Mu Zhaolin patted her hand and said with a smile: "Okay, don't say it, my Fu'er is the best." ”
"Then I'm hungry now, have you ever asked someone to prepare my favorite crystal shrimp balls and crab roe paste?" Mu Xuefu leaned down and looked at him expectantly like a child hungry for food, but the afterglow was swirling on Jing Rong's face.
"When will this food-loving personality change?" Mu Zhaolin turned his head to look at Jing Rong and said, "After the prince sent the post in the morning, the lower officials began to prepare lunch, and it was almost fine at this time." It's better to ask the prince to move, and let's talk while eating. ”
Jing Rong has been looking at the father and daughter with great interest, although he doesn't know Mu Xuefu, but judging from the contact with her, she is not a person who is easy to get close to. Since they can be so intimate, I think their father-daughter relationship should be very good. He withdrew his inquiring gaze and said, "Zuo Xiang has a heart." ”
