Listening to Mu Qianmei's half-lecture and half-doting words, Saren stretched out his little tongue and said coquettishly:

"Didn't my sister tell me to live recklessly? When I was in the prairie, I also liked to ride on horseback and sing to my heart's content. m.”

"Think about the past, riding on horseback, running wildly, experiencing the feeling of flying, often coming out of the morning glow, returning with the sunset, unrestrained, how happy to live."

"However, there, there are not so many good sisters to accompany me, a little lonely, and I have to practice martial arts with my master every day, which is also very hard!"

Speaking of the prairie, Saren asked anxiously as if he suddenly remembered:

"By the way, sister, didn't you just come back from the prairie? Then when you arrived in Qiyan County, did you see my brother? We haven't been apart for so long, and I don't know if he's doing well. ”

Probably because of impatience, the word "my brother" blurted out, completely forgetting that now they and Mu Qianmei are already a family, and her brother is also Mu Qianmei's brother.

She herself didn't realize that something was wrong.

Mu Qianmei didn't correct her at this point, because she understood that this sister was completely a matter of habit and not intentional.

She was still elated just now, but when she mentioned her brother, she immediately became a little depressed, and her voice was unconsciously choked, because they had been living together before, practicing martial arts together, and growing up together.

She has a frank personality, the transition between crying and laughing is very smooth and natural, crying when she says crying, the smile at the corner of her mouth has not completely dissipated, tears begin to slide down the corners of her eyes, she laughs when she laughs, the tears on her face have not dried yet, and the smile has already spread between her eyebrows.

Mu Qianmei said with a gentle smile:

"See, the royal brother is now majestic, the cavalry troops led by him, in my opinion, are better than the previous Southern Tang Kingdom, worthy of the cavalry troops trained by the magical horse trainer, the last time the imperial brother led the team out, the formation was really spectacular!"

As soon as he heard this, Saren was very excited, imagining how charming his brother was to lead thousands of troops and horses galloping on the prairie, looking majestic!

She suddenly missed the prairie and her brother.

The two sisters were talking, and the others couldn't interject for a while, they were all eating silently, and only the palace maids and maids at the other two tables would whisper a few words.

Du Jiuniang listened to them, and unconsciously she was a little distracted, when Mu Qianmei talked about their royal brother Bala's majestic appearance on the prairie, a white-clothed scholar actually appeared in her mind.

Relatively speaking, what she admires more in her mind is the white-clothed scholar who can talk about the world, not to mention that he is not only knowledgeable, but also has high martial arts, his name is Zhuang Shujun, he is both civil and military.

In fact, not only was she impressed by his demeanor, but after Zhuang Shujun watched her performance, he was also deeply fascinated by this talented woman, and he had found Du Jiuniang several times under the pretext of talking about official affairs, and even specially arranged a few inconsequential performances, but he just had the opportunity to get close to her.

However, although Lang is affectionate and the concubine is intentional, there is no matchmaker, and no one is easy to say about themselves, so they maintain a relationship that is not inseparable, and they fail to go further.

Mu Qianmei, who was talking, inadvertently swept her eyes over Du Jiuniang's face, and found that she was in a trance

Zi, and called softly:

"Jiu Niang!"

Du Jiuniang didn't even hear it, and was still outside the spirit.

Saren immediately smiled and said:

"Hehe, is Jiu Niang missing your Zhuang Gongzi again?"

Saren's voice was a little louder, and when he mentioned the three words Zhuang Gongzi, Du Jiuniang subconsciously said:

"How do you know?"

After saying that, he immediately came to his senses, and he lost his words, isn't this a self-confession? So he blushed and said:

"What does the little princess say, you can't talk nonsense."

Her answer surprised everyone for a while, and then she suddenly burst out laughing, even Mu Qianmei couldn't help but laugh, she probably guessed who Zhuang Gongzi was in Saren's mouth, but she still asked:

"Which Zhuang Gongzi? How could our Jiuniang be so fascinated? ”

Saren immediately replied:

"Which other Zhuang Gongzi is there? In Yunyu, those who can get into the eyes of Jiuniang, except for our Zhuang Shujun Zhuang Taiwei, probably can't find the second one. ”

Mu Qianmei smiled and said:

"Yes, yes, think about you guys are really a good match, Jiu Niang has a good eye! How far have you go? ”

Du Jiuniang hurriedly denied:

"Nothing, nothing, Princess Fluttershy, don't listen to the little princess's jokes."

It turned out that in private, everyone called Princess Fluttershy the eldest princess, and Saren called the little princess, and before that, she was also called Princess Saren Mengle, but when she talked about Zhuang Shujun, her heart was confused, and when she was nervous, she said her private name.

Fortunately, the focus of everyone's attention is not here, and it is harmless to call it like this, but it makes people feel intimate, and no one takes it seriously.

Mu Qianmei saw Du Jiuniang's nervous and negative look, so she deliberately teased her:

"It turns out that there is no such thing, just now I was thinking about how to match you up, since there is no such thing, then I don't have to worry about this, and when I see the right one, I will introduce him to another one."

Hearing Mu Qianmei say that she would introduce another one to him, Du Jiuniang was anxious this time, but she was embarrassed to say no, opened her mouth, and didn't know what to say for a while.

The quiet girl hurriedly spoke at this time:

"Princess Fluttershy, don't tease her, the two of them can't wait to see each other every day, Jiu Niang often dreams that she will call Zhuang Gongzi, you want to introduce Zhuang Gongzi to another one, what should we Jiu Niang do?"

Du Jiuniang didn't dare to deny that there was no such thing this time, but said in a sad tone:

"Hey, Zhuang Gongzi is famous all over the rivers and lakes, and now he is the high-ranking Zhuang Taiwei, and Jiuniang is just a Qinglou woman, although she has the name of an Oiran, she is still born in a Qinglou after all, how can she be worthy of Zhuang Gongzi?"

The words are filled with a deep sense of inferiority.

No one is joking anymore, this kind of background, it is indeed difficult for many heroines to really get true love, even if they get their wish into a wealthy family, most of them are just a lowly concubine, and they can't get real happiness.

This is a knot in Du Jiuniang's heart, and it is also a reason why her relationship with Zhuang Shujun has been difficult to develop further.

She's scared, so

Seems hesitant.

Zhuang Shujun is so good, will he really fall in love with him? Will you cherish her for a long time?

She was full of worries, because the experience of too many sisters who stepped into a wealthy family told her that none of them were truly happy, and basically after a short period of sweetness, there was no good end in the end.

Some have lost their lives, some are still living in dire straits, and some have returned to the Qinglou, spending their lives every day with an indifferent attitude.

Although she doesn't sell her art, she will never be able to tear off the label of a Qinglou woman, which is a very heavy burden for her, especially when she is really tempted.

Mu Qianmei understood her mood and understood her heart knot, so she patiently explained:

"Jiu Niang shouldn't look down on herself, if you talk about your background, Brother Zhuang is a beggar, not much better than you, how could he have had half of his self-abandonment for this, when he was the deputy leader of the beggar gang, every time he mentioned the experience of living on the streets and begging for a living, he was understated, frank, and didn't feel how ashamed it was."

"Take myself as an example, I have also begged along the street with the old man since I was a child, and now I have become a princess, but for me, such a life is a very valuable wealth in my life, because suffering will make us understand the warmth and coldness of the world faster, and it will also make us stronger."

"My upbringing is well known to the world, but no one despises me because of this, let alone looks down on me, why? It's because I always have a spirit of self-improvement. ”

"People live, first of all, you have to look up to yourself, others will give you more respect, if you look down on yourself, how to let others respect you?"

"You have to believe that Brother Zhuang is not a shallow person, over the years, no matter how much he has achieved, he has always been not arrogant or impatient, and he is clean and self-conscious, and his feelings are also blank, people like him are difficult to be emotional, but once he is emotional, he is very sincere and dedicated."

"Jiuniang, let go of the knots in your heart, go with the natural development, follow the feelings of your heart, and cherish your fate!"

Du Jiuniang was very excited by Mu Qianmei's words, and she couldn't fully digest it for a while, so she subconsciously asked:

"Can I really?"

Mu Qianmei said affirmatively:

"Of course you can, your excellence is obvious to all, think about it, with Brother Zhuang's eyes, how can an ordinary woman touch his heart? But if you do, even if you don't believe in yourself, don't you still believe in his vision? ”

Having said that, Du Jiuniang doesn't seem to feel any embarrassment, anyway, everyone already knows, why bother to hide it? So, she went on to ask:

"So what do I do next?"

Saren immediately said:

"He likes you, and you like him, of course, just go and tell him quickly, just say that you want to marry him, so that he doesn't like other women anymore!"

Du Jiuniang said embarrassedly:

"I'm going to say? How can a woman say that to a man? ”

Saren said strangely:

"What's so embarrassing about that? If you like him, you have to tell him, otherwise how will he know! ”
