Chapter 54 Worship in-laws in the ancestral hall
Hearing him say this, Mu Xuefu breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that the overall situation he was talking about meant Queen Xuan's mother and son. With a smile like a rosebud gradually blooming on her lips, Ying Ying raised her eyes to look at him, and her soft voice was like warming up in early spring, "Although the concubine doesn't understand these politics, she knows one thing, the prince is wise and martial, no matter what conspiracy they have, they can't escape your eyes, and they can't turn your palms." ”
Jing Rong Langlang smiled, took her hand, kissed the palm of her hand, with a little relief and joy in his deep eyes, and his eyes were tightly locked on her face. Slowly, his eyes gradually deepened, like a dark cloud, covering his eyes, "You don't have to understand anything, as long as you are the princess of this king, whatever you want, this king will give you." ”
Mu Xuefu was stunned for a moment, and almost blurted out, will you give me the life of the Dog Emperor too? But the reason in his heart was still there, and he swallowed back the words that came to his throat.
Seeing her stunned expression, Jing Rong frowned unconsciously, and said in a low voice: "Is there really anything you want this king to give you?" ”
Realizing his gaffe and the look of vigilance in Jing Rong's eyes, Mu Xuefu's brain quickly turned. She nodded, with expectant and eager eyes, and said in an urn voice: "Today, you have to be by my side all the time, don't leave me half a step." When I get to the palace, I want to see Princess Sanssouci, she likes you and targets me everywhere, and you have to support me by my side. She paused, her fingers rubbing the fur on his mink coat, and her eyes showed a bit of grievance, "And Concubine Zhen and that Li Guifei, they all joined forces to bully me." ”
"With this king here, no one dares to bully you." Jing Rong grabbed her hand, covered the delicate jade skin on her face, smiled lightly, and said: "This king knows that your temperament is like a kitten, usually lazy, but if someone provokes you, he must stretch out your kitten paws to return the color, right?" ”
Mu Xuefu thought about it carefully, and actually compared the appropriate benefits, she glanced at him, and said in a playful voice: "No matter how powerful the cat is, there are times when it takes a nap, and besides, you say that kittens are always lazy, maybe because they haven't shown their claws for too long, they are not sharp, and they can't fight back." Therefore, the prince also needs to pay attention at all times, don't let the bad guys bully the kitten. ”
"This king is by your side and will not leave you for a moment." Jing Rong flicked the nails she had painted with impatiens juice, glanced at Zhou Cheng, who was standing outside the door and peeked in from time to time, took Mu Xuefu's shoulders and said, "Okay, let's go." ”
In the front yard, Princess Yu and King Xuan sat in the hall waiting, King Xuan and his wife were drinking tea, muttering a few words from time to time, Princess Yu sat on a high seat, holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, closed her eyes and silently said words in her mouth, until the little man guarding the door shouted loudly that the princess and princess arrived, and then opened her eyes.
Jing Xuan was like a hungry wolf when Mu Xuefu stepped into the courtyard, staring at her with burning eyes. It wasn't until the princess next to him secretly pinched him that she reluctantly withdrew her gaze, but she was thinking about how to get close to this stunning beauty. Since he went to the East Courtyard that day, he has been thinking about her all the time in his heart, and even dreaming at night that she is like a bone-eroding **. I wanted to go to the East Courtyard several times, but every time I sent someone to inquire, Jingrong was there with her, so he couldn't see him if he wanted to. Now that I can finally see her, I have to take care of so many people, so I have to look at her secretly. But this beauty is a beauty, I haven't seen her for a few days, and the beauty looks better than before, especially today's dress makes her more bewitching and bright, seducing the soul, making his heart feel like being scratched by a kitten.
In his eyes, although she is charming and glamorous, in the eyes of his mother, Mu Xuefu is a smoky, charming and bewitching state. She glanced at Mu Xuefu in disgust, and laughed in her heart that Jingrong really fell into beauty. Looking at the warbler Yanyan in this room, there are more warblers and concubines than her son's concubines. But it's okay this way, beauty is the easiest to wear down a man's heart, and it's best that this Mu Xuefu can capture his heart and become his weakness. If a man has a weakness, is it still difficult to control?
Entering the house, Mu Xuefu blessed Princess Yu, "Princess Yu Wan'an." He saluted Jing again, "Xuan Wang Wanfu." Fu bowed to Princess Xuan again.
"What time is this, let everyone in this room wait, is it because Princess Chen didn't get up too early or just forgot about us all by dressing up?" As soon as Mu Xuefu and Jing Rong sat down, Princess Yu began to look for Mu Xuefu's stubble. Everyone knows that King Chen has no habit of getting up late, whether he goes to court or not, he will get up after midnight every day. Obviously, Princess Yu put all the responsibility for her late arrival on Mu Xuefu.
Mu Xuefu's phoenix eyes were slightly raised to the upper seat to look at Princess Yu, who was wearing a Lishui purple flying bird depicted cotton brocade dress, and a smile appeared on her lips, like a poppy blooming, and then her eyes flowed to Jing Rong's face, and then she lowered her head slightly, and a shy and hugging attitude appeared on her face, "Today, the prince has to paint a thrush for the concubine, so it took some time." She directly pushed the matter of the future to Jing Rong to see what else this woman could say! Besides, this Princess Yu has been widowed for more than ten years, and she has no love from her husband, and now she is telling the joy of this husband and wife's boudoir, which will frustrate her spirit.
Jing Rong's eyebrows moved slightly, the smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared for a moment, he turned his head to look at Princess Yu's somewhat ugly face, pressed Mu Xuefu's hand on the chair, and said: "This king is also the first time to thrush, so I have painted Fu'er several times and I am not satisfied, Princess Yu looks at the painting well?" He raised his hand and gently covered Mu Xuefu's eyebrows, and swept them softly like feathers floating in water.
Looking at the eyebrows of Jing Rong and the two of them, Princess Yu held her breath in her heart, but she couldn't spit it out. She glanced at Mu Xuefu contemptuously, and said, "As a princess, you have to do a good job of helping the virtuous and the inside, the prince forgot the time, don't you forget it too?" ”
"The two love each other, it is difficult to distinguish the day and the night, so I will forget the time. The concubine is not like the princess who worries about her strength every day, and every second counts. Seeing that Princess Yu was about to have a seizure, Mu Xuefu stood up and bowed: "But this time it was the negligence of the concubine, and I hope Princess Yu will forgive me." ”
Princess Yu's face turned slightly blue, and she looked at her coldly, and she suppressed her anger and snorted coldly: "Ah Rong really married a good princess, such sharp teeth and clever tricks, my daughter-in-law is really far behind." He looked sideways at Princess Xuan, with an arrogant tone, "Jingshu, your temperament is too woody, in the future, you will learn more from Arong's daughter-in-law to learn the love between husband and wife, and in the future, we will be in the capital, it is better to move around more, in the end, you are the concubine." ”
As soon as the words fell, Jing Rong and Mu Xuefu looked at each other, and their faces moved slightly, but both of them were people who changed their faces very quickly, and they disappeared in an instant. Mu Xuefu sat back in her position, as if she was careless, and said with a smile: "Princess Xuan is generous and decent, gentle and virtuous, which is what I should learn." It's just that I'm afraid that the time is too short, and before I can study well with the princess, you will have to leave Beijing, and I'm afraid that I will become a half-hanger. ”
After finishing speaking, Princess Yu chuckled, with a dark and uncertain look in her eyes, and said faintly: "Where is our time, and you will have time to get along with each other in the future." ”
Jing Rong's hand tapping on the table suddenly stopped, and said, "It's almost time, it's time to offer incense and worship." ”
This is the first time Mu Xuefu has entered the ancestral hall, the ancestral hall is solemn, the air is full of sandalwood, and the smoke sets off the room even more cold. At the top are two tablets, respectively written the position of Jing Cangling, the first father of the imperial examination, and the position of Xiao Yin, the first mother of the imperial concubine, these two people are Jing Rong's parents.
The next person first took five futons and put them on the ground, Princess Yu's futon was placed in the front, followed by Jingrong and Jing Xuan, and then Jing Rong and Jing Xuan's husband and wife were in a row, and behind were the heirs left by King Yu and Jing Rong Jingxuan's concubine.
After kowtowing, Mu Xuefu glanced casually and saw Princess Yu hatefully looking at Concubine Jingrong's tablet, with a fierce light in her eyes. After a little thought, who wants to be pressed on top of her head by another woman for the rest of her life, even if she is a noble county lord, doesn't she still kowtow to the first princess all her life.
Mu Xuefu saw this scene, and Jing Rong naturally saw it too. There was a ruthless sneer on his lips, and the cold arrow in his eyes seemed to pierce Princess Yu's heart with ten thousand arrows. Don't want to bow down? One day he will make her kneel for a long time!
After kowtowing after the incense, everyone left the ancestral hall. It's just that before going out, Mu Xuefu suddenly stopped and looked back, she always felt that there was a trace of weirdness here, but she couldn't notice it for a while.
"What's wrong?" Jing Rong asked when he saw her turn around.
Mu Xuefu came back to her senses, pulled the corners of her mouth, and whispered: "I want to take a good look at this place that will also enshrine my tablet in the future, but Lord Wang, this place is a little small, and I will give it a big house in the future." ”
"What nonsense!" Jing Rong was a little annoyed at the corner of his eyes and scolded her lightly. He hugged her and walked out, whispering, "It's bad luck to say this during the New Year." After a pause, he added, "You can't say that normally." ”
"The concubine is telling the truth, no one can escape death." Death is not terrible for Mucheph at all, what is terrible is living. Sometimes she thought that perhaps the real Muchev had died in that catastrophe, and that what was left was nothing more than an instrument of revenge.
Jing Rong's face sank, his steps slowed down, widened the distance from the person in front of him, and said solemnly: "You must know that no one in this world likes to listen to the truth. ”
Mu Xuefu stared at him with her head up, and couldn't help asking, "What if I told the truth?" ”
"You'll be thought of as a fool and a madman." Jing Rong stopped and looked at her deeply, "What people fear most is not starvation, not the suffering of flesh and skin, but death. When a person dies, there is nothing, and all the status, power, and money will disappear with death. But no one wants to admit it, and if you tell the truth, you will shatter other people's dreams. ”
