Chapter 91: Princess Qinghe
Li Zheng was full of praise for her kung fu: "The girl is so skilled, she deserves to be a member of the Wei family's army." The old man just said that you are soft and weak, and you really have eyes and don't know Mount Tai. Wei Yangyang hurriedly praised him: "Where is it, it's just some superficial work." I heard that Li Shilang is a master of building embankments, and I admire people like you the most. Hearing her talk about the embankment, the expression on Li Zheng's face dimmed: "No matter how good the embankment repair is, the embankment repaired by the master can withstand natural disasters, but it can't withstand man-made disasters." ”
Wei Yangyang heard Shen Mingyuan mention the day before yesterday that this embankment is likely to cut corners. Now that I hear Li Zheng say this, it is true that someone is deliberately making trouble. She was very angry, but she didn't know who was the initiator, and she was very angry. The mountain road was slippery, Li Zheng was old again, they dampled water and mud, and it took two days to reach the barracks of the Wei Family Army.
Although she didn't have a jade pendant in her hand, the senior generals of the Wei Family Army knew her more. Soon, a guerrilla on duty recognized her and quickly reported it to Wei Bingji. Wei Bingji found two horses for them and sent several sergeants to escort them. After two more hours, they finally returned to the Kaifeng Mansion.
Official business was important, and Shen Mingyuan didn't have time to talk to her, so he went to talk to Li Zheng first. He was busy until dusk, when he had time to eat with her. But when he came in, his expression was serious, and he didn't speak, and his attitude was very different from that of normal days. Wei Yangyang thought that Li Zheng's report made him angry, so he desperately told jokes to tease him. But after talking for a long time, she saw Shen Mingyuan glaring at her fiercely, only to realize that she should have offended him.
But she really couldn't think of what she had done wrong, and she didn't dare to ask, so she hurriedly told her about exterminating the mountain bandits, wanting to take credit. Shen Mingyuan interrupted her impatiently: "Wei Yangyang, you are so bold, you dare to beat me?" He only calls her "Yang Yang" on weekdays, and rarely calls her by name and surname. In addition, his expression was very serious, which was also rare, and Wei Yangyang knew that he had fallen into a big disaster.
She was a little weak-hearted, quickly lowered her head, and muttered in a low voice: "Then, isn't that an emergency?" Shen Mingyuan was angry, and he was even more angry when he heard this: "You kneel down for me!" You didn't know my identity in Haixi before, so that's fine. Now that you know that I am a prince, you dare to knock me unconscious, if you don't teach you some lessons, will you dare to kill me next time? Wei Yangyang was so frightened that he knelt down and shook his head like a rattle: "How dare I kill His Highness, even if I don't want to die, our Wei family will be wiped out."
Shen Mingyuan saw that she was so frightened that her face was pale, and she looked pitiful, and most of the anger in her heart disappeared. He was not angry that she knocked himself out, but angry that she made the decision to save people without authorization, and he didn't believe in his own ability at all. What's more, the two clearly said that they would advance and retreat together, but she suddenly attacked herself, which is really hateful. Moreover, it is indeed a serious crime to hurt the prince, and if she is not given some punishment today, I am afraid that she will be lawless and will cause a big disaster in the future.
Shen Mingyuan's anger did not subside, and he deliberately pretended to be vicious: "You made such a big mistake, hurry up and find a way to coax me." "Coax?" Wei Yangyang never imagined that he would say this. But she was also very aggrieved in her heart, and pointed to the wound on her head and began to behave: "Your Highness, look, when I blew them up with a dragon, I was also injured by gravel on my head, and I lost a lot of blood." ”
When she returned to Kaifeng, she had already bathed, changed her clothes, and bandaged her wounds. The wound was only a small pebble from the explosion, and it was nothing compared to the injuries she had received before. But her old injuries were not healed and new ones were added, and when she left, she also handed over the important tokens of the Wei family army to Ling Quan, just so that she could return to Kaifeng safely. What's more, she didn't have to go to Dishan, but she didn't want to regret it, so she ran alone.
Thinking of this, Shen Mingyuan's heart had already forgiven her, but he couldn't get over it on his face, he still stiffened his face: "If you don't make me happy, don't think about it today." When Wei Yangyang saw him coming, he knew that he wouldn't be happy today, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to pass this level, so he frowned and began to think of countermeasures.
Shen Mingyuan saw that her mouth was muttering, and he didn't know what he was talking about. After a quarter of an hour, she spoke: "I, I recently learned the Luohe minor tune of Huadu, I will sing it to His Highness, Your Highness will not be angry, okay?" She didn't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she didn't know any kind of musical instrument, but she just liked to sing to pass the time. Shen Mingyuan snorted: "Then I have to listen to how you sing before I can decide whether to forgive you or not." ”
Wei Yangyang calmed down, clapping his hands and singing: "In Baocheng Lane, the capital of Dayang Flowers, there lives a prince, who is both civil and military, and handsome. His poems and songs are full of chapters, and the kite is unparalleled in the world. Lu Gongzi is seven feet eight tall, informal, chic, academically learned, and more open-minded about the world. The flood suddenly panicked, so he dared to make his own opinion, His Royal Highness is like the prime minister, please don't blame Yang Yang. Now disaster relief is the most important, and we should make every effort to help the people, and we must not be distracted by this trivial matter. First repair the embankment, and then go to the officialdom to fight corruption, after the rain, the people are happy, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful and more splendid. ”
Shen Mingyuan grew up and didn't know how much flattery he had heard. But it was the first time he had seen it in such a way as today, and this was indeed an idea that only Wei Yangyang could come up with. Not only did she sing the Luohe minor tune she had just learned, but she also used the rhyme that her feet gave her in a quarter of an hour. Although the time is tight and some of the words are not very smooth, for her, the lyrics have been thought of very well.
Shen Mingyuan had just heard Li Zheng's report, and he was furious. But now that I heard her sing, I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Wei Yangyang saw a smile on his face, so he dared to ask: "Your Highness, I, can I get up?" Shen Mingyuan hurriedly put away his smiling face, and said fiercely: "You forgot, we made three chapters of the law before we set off. If you dare to make up your own mind, I will punish you when I come back. ”
Wei Yangyang saw that this matter was not over, so he had to admit it: "Then how will His Highness be punished?" "I'll punish you," Shen Mingyuan carefully considered the choice of words and sentences in his heart, thinking about how to say it so that it wouldn't seem so abrupt: "You like to count silver so much, I'll punish you for coming to the palace to count the silver for a lifetime." In the future, all the accounts of my palace, my rewards, and the collection of fiefdoms will be managed by you, but it will be enough for you to work every day, how about it? ”
Keeping accounts? Wei Yangyang thought in his heart, although he could count, he had never learned to manage accounts. The family's accounts are all managed by Ah Niang, and even her father's monthly income has to be handed over to her. It is difficult to read the account book, why does His Royal Highness go to the palace to manage the accounts by himself? It's not as simple as counting money. Shen Mingyuan saw that she was hesitant and didn't speak, so he became unhappy again: "What, you don't want to?" ”
Being reprimanded by him like this, Wei Yangyang was taken aback. The two of them were preparing for dinner, and the attendants had already set the dishes and plates. Wei Yangyang was hungry, looking at the dishes on the table, seeing Shen Mingyuan asking like this, she had to ask the other party tentatively: "If I don't agree, won't I be able to eat the meal prepared by His Highness tonight?" Who would have expected that she would ask such a sentence without a head, and Shen Mingyuan was almost angry with her and vomited blood: "Not only tonight, don't even think about going to the palace for dinner in the future, and don't think about receiving gifts." ”
"Huh?" Wei Yangyang's tone was full of disappointment, which poked at her sore spot. She can't go to the palace to eat delicious food, and there will be no new kites, which can be regarded as a great punishment for her. She nodded hurriedly: "Then I am willing to count the silver, and His Highness will let me count it for as long as I want." Only then did a smile appear on Shen Mingyuan's face: "Okay, you get up." Wei Yangyang stood up in fear, not knowing how he had to blame himself.
Thinking that Wei Yangyang was willing to agree just to be able to eat, Shen Mingyuan was angry and funny, and couldn't help but scold her: "You little rice bucket is becoming more and more like a person." Wei Yangyang corrected him: "I have grown up now, not a small rice bucket, but a big rice bucket." Your Highness said I look like whom? Shen Mingyuan couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to say to her: "Like whom?" Like Princess Qinghe. He finally finished what he had said from the roof, and he felt very happy.
Wei Yangyang was probably frightened by him just now, and he hadn't come back to his senses yet: "Princess Qinghe? Your Highness doesn't have a princess. Now Shen Mingyuan looks at her like he is looking at a big fool: "Yes, I only have one concubine, one Wang Yan, and no concubine, can you be a concubine?" Wei Yang was shocked and said, "What, concubine?" ”
She doesn't know anything about feelings, and in her opinion, when men and women in the world love each other, they are probably like starlings and sisters-in-law. She never felt that she liked anyone, and Mrs. Wei even worried that she was slow to open up. But today, Shen Mingyuan said the words "Princess Qinghe" straightforwardly, and she seemed to have been suddenly empowered. She immediately thought of the scene when Wei Bingyue was emotionally injured, almost exactly the same as when she was injured and died in the Qinghe Palace. Why is my injury stable, but the pain is unbearable? That's because His Highness said at the time: "I'm not your family." I'm not your family! Yes, it can be seen that deep down, I want him to be a family.
Wei Yangyang wanted to nod his head and agree immediately, but it was wrong to think about it, Shen Minghuang said the same thing last time. It can be seen that not all of this man's promises are promises. Shen Mingyuan saw that she was still hesitating, and he didn't know what was going on in her head. Although he does things out of the ordinary on weekdays, he is very cautious about his marriage. Now whether the eight characters of the two are compatible, he is not completely sure, so he made a promise to Wei Yangyang: "When I go back to Huadu this time, I will ask the queen mother to mention this matter, if the Ministry of Rites calculates that there is no problem with the eight characters of the two of me, I will do my best to fight for you to be the concubine." ”
Yes, he said to fight for it with all his might, which shows that he will not promise others what he is not sure about. And he said that he would go to the queen, and he would work hard to do what he believed, which was not the same thing as Shen Minghuang's empty words. Although Wei Yangyang is stupid, she can still distinguish between true feelings and false feelings. Now seeing Shen Mingyuan say this, she relieved her heart and nodded stupidly.
Shen Mingyuan saw that her expression was not very happy, so he asked her, "What's wrong?" Is the wound still painful? She hesitated for a moment, a little aggrieved: "Just now His Highness had a big temper, I thought I made a mistake, and His Highness will not be friends with me in the future." "She has a free and easy temperament, and rarely has a time to spit out. When Shen Mingyuan saw her say this, he was afraid of losing his friendship with himself, and his heart was simply happy, so he couldn't help but take her hand: "Yes, I won't be friends anymore." I'm going to be married to you. ”
