Chapter 36 Father's Kindness and Daughter's Filial Piety
"Father, don't worry, although Yanyu is a little willful, but Chong'er feels that her sister is not a difficult person to communicate, and her father can only wait for Yanyu to come and then persuade him slowly." Murong Chong usually protects this sister, and he is the same at this moment.
"That's all there is to it!" Seeing this, Murong couldn't help but sigh again.
It didn't take long for Princess Murong Yanyu to flutter in happily like a bird, and as soon as she came in, she came to Murong Sheng's side, grabbed his arm and said, "Father, I want Yanyu, so I asked the palace people to invite Yanyu." β
"Yanyu, how many times have I told you, don't have no rules like when you were a child, you are a big girl now, you have to know some etiquette, you know?" Although Murong Sheng doted on this daughter, he also seemed to realize that he was too indulgent to her.
"Father, Yanyu knows, but there are no outsiders here except for the eldest emperor brother and the third emperor brother, and Yanyu is happy to see his father, and he forgets the etiquette for a while, and Yanyu will pay attention to it on other occasions." Murong Yanyu couldn't help but say coquettishly.
"You, let my father say hello, I can't help you. Hey, put you in the palm of your hand, and I'm afraid of it, put it in my mouth, I'm afraid of melting, but with your character, I'm really worried that you won't be able to marry in the future. Murong Sheng scratched Murong Yanyu's nose and said with some disgust.
"Father, where do you say, Yanyu don't want to get married, Yanyu will always be by his father's side, and be a caring little baby for his father's life." Murong Yanyu said and snuggled his head on Murong Sheng's shoulder, living a good image of a good daughter.
"Hmph, I know how to make my father happy!" Murong Shengxiang pretended to be angry, but he was happy in his heart, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, he nodded Murong Yanyu's forehead and said, "Yanyu, tell your father, did you do anything bad today?" β
Murong Sheng didn't say anything about Tuoba Ye directly, he had to wait for Murong Yanyu to say it himself, he wanted to see what his daughter thought of it.
"Father, my daughter is very well-behaved, so she didn't do anything bad, why do you say that about your daughter, your daughter is going to be unhappy!" Murong Yanyu pouted as she spoke.
"Sister Yanyu, shouldn't you tell your father about the envoy in the Imperial Garden today?" Murong Ba knew that his sister was hard-mouthed, if he and his father didn't say it, then this Yanyu would definitely not admit it himself, seeing that his father didn't speak, so he was the only one who was the bad guy.
"Hmph, Murong Ba, you deliberately came to dismantle the princess's stage, right?" Murong Yanyu couldn't help but look at each other angrily when he saw that Murong Ba actually mentioned Tuoba Ye in front of his father.
"Yanyu, why are you talking to the imperial brother like this, it's too big and small." Murong Chong couldn't help but reprimand when he saw this.
"Father, you see both of them bullying me, hum!" Murong Yanyu saw that Murong Chong was also helping Murong Ba speak, which was very uncomfortable, so he could only turn to Murong Sheng for help.
"Yanyu, you're too disagreeable this time, how can you directly call your imperial brother's name, it seems that I usually indulge you too much."
Seeing that her father also said that she was aggrieved, Murong Yanyu was aggrieved, but in the face of her father who was the king of a country, she was not good at attacking directly, so she only pouted and looked unhappy.
"I heard you locked up that Tuoba and his entourage?" If she was the crown prince or other princes, Murong Sheng would probably have pointed her nose and started training, after all, Murong Yanyu is a daughter's family, and Murong Sheng knows that she loves face, so she still has some scruples.
"Yes!" Murong Yanyu couldn't help but nodded, she still didn't dare to hide it from Murong Sheng, but when she thought that this was Murong Ba's secret, she couldn't help but glance at Murong Ba a few times with some annoyance.
Murong Ba knew that Princess Yanyu had a lot of opinions about him at this time, but as the imperial brother, he couldn't condone this sister's misdeeds, and besides, Tuoba Ye's matter was related to the friendship between the states, and he couldn't know about it and not report it.
"Do you know that the relationship between the Tuoba clan and our Western Yan Kingdom has always been tense?" Murong Sheng looked at Murong Yanyu and asked, seeing that she was silent, he continued: "The Tuoba clan is good at riding and shooting, and they are with jackals, tigers and leopards all day long, they are extremely brave, and they are next to our Xiyan Kingdom, and they have invaded our border many times, so they have caused constant wars on the border and the people are not happy. β
"In this case, why didn't my father send troops to exterminate the Tuoba clan, so as to solve the disaster of our Xiyan frontier and avoid the harassment of the Tuoba clan." Princess Murong Yanyu was young and energetic, and she didn't think about the consequences when she spoke.
"Imperial sister, you are serious, the Tuoba clan has deep roots, is good at guerrilla tactics, and the frontier is vast, but the personnel are scarce, so the Xiyan Kingdom will be at a disadvantage when it comes to fighting. Even if you win by luck, I'm afraid that those foreign clans will be laborious to manage, so it is better to form a strategic alliance with the Tuoba clan, and everyone will be safe. Murong Ba analyzed them one by one, which was reasonable and well-founded.
"Humph!" Although it was reasonable to hear Murong Ba's words, because Murong Yanyu was angry in his heart, although it was inconvenient to refute it, he didn't want to admit it, so he had to don't turn his head and snort coldly.
"Yanyu, your imperial brother's analysis is very correct, my father advises you not to only care about the personal affairs of your children in the future, but also to consider the problem from the perspective of the state, after all, you are not only the daughter of your father, but also the princess of our Xiyan Kingdom. You have to behave magnificently in front of the envoy of Tuoba, and don't lock people up for a trivial matter, if this spreads, not only will others laugh at it, but I will also feel very ashamed. When Murong Sheng said these words, he also took into account Murong Yanyu's psychological endurance, and tried his best to show a gentle and loving voice, so as not to make her feel that he was reprimanding.
"Father, you don't even know, that Tuoba Ye ...... Hmph, it's too presumptuous. Murong Yanyu didn't know what to say, she didn't feel angry when she remembered that she caught Tuoba Ye blindfolded, but that person didn't have any consciousness at all, and he actually took it for granted, which was really infuriating.
"Hehe, my father has heard from your royal brother, you caught the envoy first, how can you blame you for being rude? Father thinks that this matter is really no wonder Tuoba envoy, you still hurry up and let Tuoba Ye go, and forget it if you accompany others. Murong Sheng didn't expect that there would be such a thing between Tuoba Ye and the princess, it sounded very naΓ―ve and ridiculous.
"Imperial sister, my father is right, this is really not to blame the envoy of Tuoba, I think you will let others go." Murong Chong also stepped forward to propose.
"Could it be...... Is it just cheap that Tuobano? Don't want the smoke and rain, it's obvious that the envoy is shameless and broke into the place where our female dependents play. Murong Yanyu felt that she was so wronged, it was obviously the fault of that barbaric man, but her father and the emperor actually blamed her for it, which was really depressing.
"The Tuoba clan is originally a grassland tribe, and men and women are very casual with each other, not as much as our Xiyan Kingdom, so he may feel that there is nothing, if the princess insists that this is his disrespect to you, then this is really a problem. Father, what do you say? Murong Ba briefly analyzed, and then asked Murong Sheng instead.
"Well, in Li, Tuoba Wild Prairie has a very free and easy personality, and he is not the kind of person who is bound by the red tape of our Xiyan Kingdom, and I don't think it's a big deal. I said Yanyu, you just listen to your father's words, release the envoy, and your father will go back and compensate you with other things, okay? β
Seeing Murong Sheng say this, Yanyu knew that he couldn't be too willful, otherwise he would really anger his father, but he was afraid that it would not end well, so he nodded and said, "Since my father also said so, Yanyu has no choice but to do it!" β
"This is my good daughter, a good princess of Xiyan Kingdom!" Murong Sheng smiled and touched Murong Yanyu's head, his eyes were full of love.
But soon Murong Yanyu stretched out his head and asked, "Father, you just said that you want to compensate Yanyu, what is it?" β
Looking at Murong Yanyu's look of anticipation and curiosity, Murong Sheng raised his lips and smiled, "You ghost, what do you want, tell your father directly, and your father will promise you everything." β
"Well, then Father Rong Yanyu thinks about it for a few more days, if Yanyu thinks of something, it's not too late to tell Father, Father, do you think it's okay?" Murong Yanyu said with a wink.
"Okay, you are!" Murong Sheng readily agreed.
"That's right, father, Chong'er heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was punished, and Xishan Temple thought about it......" Murong Chong didn't know whether to mention it or not, and suddenly stopped.
"Don't mention that rebel to me!" Murong Sheng was furious when he thought of the matter of the crown prince Murong Xuan, and when he saw Murong Chong mentioning it at this time, he didn't feel that his mood had deteriorated.
Murong Ba knew that Murong Sheng was unhappy about the prince's affairs, and in view of the fact that the prince's affairs were more sensitive, it might cause his father's disgust, so he didn't interject again, but said: "Father, since the matter of Tuoba Ye has been resolved, the son-in-law is also relieved, and the son-in-law thought that there were other things to deal with, so he took his leave first, and asked his father for permission." β
"Well, it's okay, you can step down!" Murong Sheng nodded when he saw this.
Because of the mention of the prince's punishment, his father reacted so much, Murong Chong knew in his heart that the prince had really angered his father this time, and he regretted mentioning it, so he said: "Father, why don't you sing you another opera to relieve your boredom?" β
"Excuse me, I'm a little tired today, if you have nothing to do, just retreat with your imperial brother." Murong Sheng was no longer in the mood to listen to music at this time.
"Since my father is tired, then Chong'er retired, thinking that my father is worried about state affairs all day long, and he is very hard to manage every day, and he asks his father to take care of his health." Murong Chong said and hurriedly retreated.
At this time, Murong Yanyu saw that his father was a little tired, so he meekly helped him beat his shoulder, and said very intimately: "Since my father is tired, then Yanyu will help my father hammer his back and relieve his fatigue." β
"In the end, it is still the most intimate smoke and rain!" Murong Sheng looked at Murong Yanyu and was not pleased.
