Chapter 232: Like a Dream
Mu Xize has been in the Sun Mansion for more than seven days, and Ye Ningxiang has had nightmares every night in the past few days, and the first person she wants to find when she wakes up is always Mu Xize. She and this Xiao Langjun obviously didn't know each other for long, but when she expelled him from the palace, she would always think of him when she was most helpless and overwhelmed.
After careful calculation, today should be the eighth day that she has not seen Xiaomu, Ye Ningxiang's heart was inexplicably uneasy, and then she was very willful to quit the early dynasty on the grounds of physical discomfort. In fact, she quietly disguised herself as a man and slipped out of the palace to Sun Hao's mansion.
Early in the morning, Sun Hao didn't let Mu Xize be idle, he heard that Ye Ningxiang had left the morning today, and all the energy he was full of in the morning and had nowhere to put it, so he used it all to torture Mu Xize. Not only did he hand over the change of clothes in each room to Mu Xize to clean, but he also forced him to clean all the toilets in the house before noon.
When Ye Ningxiang sneaked into Sun's mansion quietly, she saw Mu Xize in coarse linen clothes sitting on the ground and concentrating on brushing the toilet, what was even more unbearable was that he was sitting on a rattan chair not far from him, and it was Sun Hao who watched him humiliated.
Ye Ningxiang lay on the roof and did not rush down, secretly observing everything in the courtyard, but her disgust for Sun Hao rose sharply. She always felt that Sun Hao was an outspoken and upright person, but she never thought that such a person with the reputation of the king's mirror was so narrow-minded that he would go to great lengths to torture a helpless man.
"Xiaomu, I really didn't expect you to be able to endure so many days in my house. ”
Sun Hao stood up, walked to Mu Xize's side, lowered his head and looked down at him, it really meant that some masters looked at slaves.
Mu Xize stopped what he was doing, raised his head without humility or arrogance, and there was no respect in his words, but a kind of disappointment.
"I never thought that Lord Sun was such a scheming person, and in order to prove that your prejudice against me was correct, he did not hesitate to instigate people to torture me in every possible way. Everyone praises you for being a mirror of the emperor who is not afraid of power, but in fact, how many times have you deliberately exaggerated the seriousness of the state of affairs in order to show that you are not afraid of power, and deliberately showed your integrity in front of the saints. ”
These words successfully angered Sun Hao, who was waiting to see Mu Xize make a fool of himself, Sun Hao flicked his sleeves and said angrily at Mu Xize: "You are just a rebel who failed to kill the king, dare to speak disrespectfully here!"
Mu Xize no longer looked at Sun Hao, picked up the toilet brush again and continued to clean the filthy toilets.
"Killing the monarch and rebelling? Am I not the murderer of the monarch and the rebel Lord Sun, don't you know? If I really have the intention of killing the king, I am afraid that it will not fall into your hands now. My lord, my stinky place is really not suitable for you to stay here for a long time, you should go back to your house and be busy."
Before the word "matter" could be spoken, I heard a sudden scream from the roof, and then a huge heavy object fell from the roof. Fortunately, Mu Xize's eyes were quick, so that the heavy object landed on his arms impartially.
The moment she landed on Mu Xize's arm, Ye Ningxiang was like a fried chicken, she broke free of Mu Xize's arm, and violently pushed Mu Xize's body away, causing her to fall from Mu Xize's arm to the ground.
"Little Leaf!"
The strong shock and the fear of Ye Ningxiang's fall and injury made Mu Xize call out the three words that he had not seen for a long time.
Ye Ningxiang endured the pain and got up from the ground, her eyes widened, and she couldn't wait to see through Mu Xize at this moment.
"What did you just call me?"
Being asked by Ye Ningxiang like this, Mu Xize realized that he had just lost his mouth in a hurry, and hurriedly said with sloppy eyes: "I...... What did I say? Be careful, be careful, and be careful, as I just said. Oh yes, Your Majesty, why did you run to the roof?"
"Nonsense, you ...... You just said Xiao Yezi, how do you know this title?"
After asking this sentence, Ye Ningxiang's whole person was stunned, how could she ask such words, as if there was really someone who often called her like this, as if she cared about this title from the bottom of her heart, and even more about this person, but who was this person? She couldn't remember, couldn't remember at all, and even felt that there was no such person at all.
Mu Xize paused, and after his mood calmed down a little, he continued to speak: "Your Majesty, don't you want to know what I am hiding from you, I will tell you today, but you have to promise me one condition." ”
"Xiao Mu, you are bold, and you dare to negotiate terms with me with your guilty body?"
Unexpectedly, Mu Xize grabbed Ye Ningxiang's arm very recklessly, and his words were mixed with a coquettish taste.
"My request is not too much, you can accompany me to the street for a stroll, just have a good time, just the two of us. ”
Mu Xize shook Ye Ningxiang's arm again, and the tone of his voice was even more warm and soft, making people feel soft all over.
"Your Majesty, you quit the early dynasty this morning, and now you run to the roof to peek at me, isn't it just reluctant to let me go, you want to be with me, anyway, you sneaked out of the palace, and no one will know if we play secretly for half a day, Your Majesty, you will obey me!"
As he spoke, Mu Xize's extremely charming peach blossom eyes deliberately flickered towards Ye Ningxiang, and the pitiful temperament revealed up and down his body made Ye Ningxiang unbearable to refuse.
"Good...... Well, I promise you to accompany you out of the palace for half a day, but you also have to make sure that you tell me all your secrets, otherwise I will leave you dead with no place to bury. ”
"But this toilet ......"
Let Mu Xize brush the toilet Ye Ningxiang was already annoyed in her heart, but at this moment Mu Xize asked, she opened her mouth mercilessly: "Sun Hao, anyway, you have nothing to do in the house, you will brush this toilet!"
Hearing this, Sun Hao only felt a hot blood surging up his chest, and he almost spurted out of his mouth, his old eyes looked at Mu Xize with hatred, but his legs knelt on the ground very spinelessly.
"Obey. ”
I don't know if she Ye Ningxiang has a way of governing the country, or if Yingdu City was originally so developed, because when Ye Ningxiang really walked on the streets of Yingdu as an ordinary person, she realized that Yingdu was so lively.
The market on the streets of Yingdu has not yet dispersed, and you can hear the cries of vendors from all directions competing with each other. Food, clothing, use, all kinds of items are presented in the bazaar, everything is available, and the dazzling array is full of eyes.
In a prominent part of the main street, there is a second-story shop that looks like it has just been renovated, and several layers of garlands are piled up outside the shop, and two long sections of firecrackers hang on either side of the plaque. probably saw that this was a new store that was about to open, and many people had gathered at the door of the store for a long time, waiting for the new store to pick up some bargains and go back.
When Ye Ningxiang and Mu Xize came to the door of the new store, they were just in time for the firecrackers to be set off at the door of the new store, and the crackling sound of the firecrackers almost shattered people's eardrums, and there seemed to be a lot of smoke and dust from the firecrackers in the air.
Ye Ningxiang took the firecracker paper that fell on her body, and complained angrily: "Which bastard invented the firecracker, and when I return to the palace, I will definitely issue a holy decree to ban this firecracker." ”
Mu Xize always looked at her with a smile, and grabbed her hand without Ye Ningxiang's consent and led her towards the store.
"Xiaomu, what do you do, let go, you let go of me. ”
Ye Ningxiang struggled, beating Mu Xize's arm while dragging the door panel and refusing to enter.
"Your Majesty, you said that you want to accompany me for half a day, I'm hungry now, so I want to eat at this Xu Ji restaurant, come, come in with me!"
When she said this, Mu Xize deliberately raised her eyebrows, and the corners of her mouth seemed to contain a magnet, almost sucking Ye Ningxiang's heart away, making her completely lose the motivation to resist.
Eventually, the two of them took their seats at an inconspicuous table for two. The shopkeeper of Hui Kee Restaurant is a young man in his early thirties. After the guests were seated, he stood in the middle of the restaurant and opened his mouth without hurrying.
"The contemptible surname Xu, originally ran a wonton stall in Jing'an, the first time he arrived in Yingdu, thanks to everyone's love, today's restaurant opened successfully, in order to show Xu's respect for everyone, today's dishes are free. But you have to say it in advance, you can order more dishes, but you can't waste it!"
This surnamed Xu is quite a bit of a business mind, but in exchange for his day's income and costs, it is the goodwill of his restaurant in Yingdu City, Ye Ningxiang is sure that in less than half a year, Xu Ji Restaurant will definitely become one of the best restaurants in Yingdu.
Just as she sighed in her heart about this Xu Gongzi's business talent, Xu Gongzi's voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Benefactor?"
Xu Gongzi almost ran in front of Mu Xize, but the moment he arrived in front of him, he was stunned, and he didn't speak for a long time, but his Adam's apple was still shaking up and down, as if he wanted to speak and stopped.
"What did you just say?"
Although Ye Ningxiang was full of incomprehension, her attitude towards questioning was cold and serious, and she roared so that Xu Gongzi unconsciously took two steps back.
"Yes...... It's me who recognizes the wrong person. Twenty years ago, my family's wonton stall met a blind nobleman, who gave my grandmother five gold leaves, and our Xu family relied on those five gold leaves to grow the business step by step. At that time, I hid in the shadows, remembered the appearance of the nobleman, and waited to repay him when I met him again in the future. ”
Mu Xize frowned slightly, and then said with a smile: "Then you recognize the wrong person, the benefactor of twenty years ago, shouldn't he be middle-aged now, or full of stubble, or pot-bellied!"
As soon as Xu Gongzi heard this, he hurriedly compensated Mu Xize for it, and specially gave them the signature of Xu Ji Restaurant-handmade small wontons.
However, Mu Xize could see that Xu Gongzi's head was full of questions until he left, as if he was questioning whether there were people in the world who looked so similar. As for Mu Xize, when Xu Gongzi mentioned the wonton stand, he remembered the old incident back then.
On a corner of Yong'an Street in Jing'an City, an old woman who is best at cooking wontons takes a little grandson to beg for a living. He almost killed his little grandson when he collected the body of the Su family, and later when he was blind, he took Ye Ningxiang to the small wonton stall to eat wontons by mistake.
Thinking of this, Mu Xize shook his head inadvertently, and the past reappeared in front of his eyes again.
"What's wrong with you, do you really mean that you are really the noble person Xu Gongzi said?"
Looking at Ye Ningxiang's serious appearance, Mu Xize took away his sadness, put on a smile again, patted the back of Ye Ningxiang's hand very dotingly, and said softly: "The little wonton is here, if you don't eat it again, you should make it." ”
This taste, this soup, how can it ...... The more Ye Ningxiang was puzzled, the more energetic she became, and it didn't seem to take long for a whole bowl of wontons to enter her stomach.
"It seems that the emperor is really hungry, and in a short time, a big bowl of wontons will bottom out. ”
Ye Ningxiang suddenly put down the dishes and chopsticks, the look in her eyes became extremely complicated, and her words seemed to carry a certain emotion, as if there was an indescribable feeling surging uncontrollably in her heart. It was as if someone had told her before, but who was that person?
"You...... What did you just say?"
Facing Ye Ningxiang's questioning, Mu Xize was stunned for a moment before responding: "I didn't say anything, I just thought you ate too fast." ”
This kind of sudden, almost out-of-control emotion, made Ye Ningxiang overwhelmed, and she kept stuffing food into her mouth to suppress the indescribable emotions in her heart, while thinking about opening a new topic.
"Xiaomu, I've already gone shopping with you, and now I've eaten delicious food with you, it's your turn to confess to me!"
Mu Xize put down the dishes and chopsticks, looked at Ye Ningxiang very solemnly, and thought for a long time before opening his mouth.
"I thought about it, and I thought it was better not to tell you, so as not to set off another bloody storm. ”
Ye Ningxiang wanted to open her mouth to scold angrily, but Mu Xize's next words made her unable to scold anything.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I'm leaving, you may not see me again, but you don't have to miss me too much, you just treat everything we have as a dream, after waking up from the dream, you are still you, I am still me, we will never see each other again. ”
