020 helpless
After coming out of Cuiwuyuan, Murong Xueyan walked quickly and went straight to the study. Nangong Yi was looking through the military parade book. When he saw her coming, he raised his eyes faintly and continued to read.
"When did you and this Eastern Wei princess meet?" Murong Xueyan asked directly.
Three years ago. When I was still in the barracks. Nangong Yi didn't raise his head either.
"Are you... familiar with each other?" Murong Xueyan thought about it for a while, and the words such as "in love" and "like interests" around the tip of her tongue were swallowed into her stomach - if she used these words, would it sound too much like asking for guilt?
"We have been together for a while." He closed the book and looked at her. "Why do you ask these questions?"
"Nothing." Murong Xueyan shook her head. Maybe she thought too much. Nangong Yi and Princess Qionghua were both distinguished and had noble blood. At that time, they were men who were not married and women. From their appearance, they could also be called men and women. Everyone thought that they were a couple, which was also reasonable. Princess Qionghua will have a fantasy, probably because of everyone's coax...
"Since it's nothing, how can you come here?" Nangong Yi smiled.
"You are my husband. Naturally, I want to take good care of you." Murong Xueyan also smiled.
"I'm also a little tired. It's better to get up and walk." Nangong Yi got up and took Murong Xueyan's hand. The two walked out of the door of the study side by side.
Princess Qionghua was walking out of the door and went down to Nangongyi's study under the leadership of the maid of the royal palace. As soon as she approached, she saw a scene where the two looked at each other and joined hands.
They...
Didn't King Jing divorce her? Moreover, their second marriage is also said to be due to the unasponsive reason, but their current appearance is so intimate!
Is it really... love for a long time? When they got along with each other in the barracks for half a year, Nangong Yi always had more than courtesy to her. At most, he regarded her as a confidant and never regarded her as a woman, a woman who fell in love with him. This Murong Xueyan, what does she rely on? If the scar on her forehead is not included, her appearance can be called beautiful, but she has a scar on her forehead - according to folk saying, it is "broken". Where on earth did such a broken woman attract Nangong Yi and made him change his initial attitude in just one year?
Looking at the back of the two people going hand in hand, it turned out to be so harmonious, matched and matched, which made Princess Qionghua sad again. He wanted to catch up with the footsteps of the two of them, but he hesitated and couldn't move. He asked the maid next to him in a manly voice, "What's your name? How old are you this year?"
"Princess, maidservant Xiaohui, is seventeen years old this year." The maid replied respectfully.
"Xiaohui, what kind of person is your princess?" Princess Qionghua asked.
Only then did Xiaohui know that what Qionghua County mainly knew was not her age and name, so she smiled and replied, "Our princess may have done it. Her father is the prime minister and is recognized as a righteous daughter by the empress dowager."
"I know all these." Princess Qionghua interrupted impatiently, "I want to know something else."
"Other..." Xiaohui hesitated for a moment and said with a smile, "The princess knows how to make wine. She opened the 'Muya Winery' in Beijing, and there are branches in many cities across the country. The princess sings very well, and even the empress dowager and the emperor praise it..."
"What else?" How to say in the military book - "Know yourself and know your enemy, and win every battle", she will investigate the details of Murong Xueyan to the slightest.
"The princess has always treated our servants very well and never put on the air of a master." Xiaohui opened the chatter box, and then there was no taboo. She said endlessly, "It's just one thing that the princess does not allow the existence of side concubines in the royal palace, and insists that the prince should only have one wife."
"Isn't it unusual for a man to have three wives and four concubines?" Princess Qionghua agreed with Murong Xueyan's concept in her heart, but she said so.
"At that time, Liu side concubines designed to frame the princess, but they were restrained by the princess in turn, and all of them were driven out of the palace..." Xiaohui suddenly realized that she had said too much and stopped.
"Get out, how did you get out?" When Princess Qionghua heard this, she couldn't stand it and hurriedly urged her.
Xiaohui sued for a crime, and Fang explained, "The prince strictly ordered the whole palace not to mention this matter. The maidservant was speechless.
"It doesn't matter. I won't tell anyone about it. I'm tired. You can help me go back to rest." Lord Qionghua said quietly.
Through the narration of this maid named Xiaohui, she understood the general content of the matter: in order to defend her relationship with Nangong Yi, Murong Xueyan drove several side concubines of Nangong Yi out of the palace one by one. And Nangong Yi also acquiesced in her behavior.
It looks like...
This princess doesn't seem to have a tendency to "cove" Nangongyi. After eating early in the morning, Murong Xueyan took Princess Qionghua to play on the capital street.
After a big circle around the street, the rouge powder stall, Jianghu artists, sugar sellers... What kind of experience can't attract her interest. After most of the morning, Princess Qionghua suddenly said, "Princess, I want to go to your winery. I don't know if it's convenient?"
"This..." Murong Xueyan looked at her and hesitated for a moment. Her status as a princess is not a secret in Muya Winery. The question is, will it cause any disturbance if she brings another foreign princess this time?
"What, is there any secret that can't be known to me?" Seeing her embarrassed face, Princess Qionghua became more curious. Last night, she rubbed Xiaohui and said a lot about Murong Xueyan. She knew that the "Yingkong Xue" of her Muya Winery was the royal wine of the palace. In this way, she wanted to see this winery even more.
"Since the princess is so elegant, I will take you there." Murong Xueyan said in the sense of "prevention", "However, I told the princess in advance that the winery was simple, and I'm afraid the princess would not like it. At that time..."
"If that's the case, if you don't like it, just go." Princess Qionghua hurried to promise.
"Okay, you can come with me." Murong Xueyan took the lead and took the group to Muya Winery in the south of the city.
After Princess Qionghua came to the winery with Murong Xueyan, her eyes fell on the couplet at the door.
"The long night sings, the moon is cold and the wind is clear, and the wine in the Lanling cup is still warm; in spring, the flute is blown out, the peach and willows are green, and the tea in the peony pavilion is cold." Princess Qionghua read out the couplet and smiled, "Yes, who did this?"
"I'm right." Murong Xueyan smiled modestly, "The literary thoughts are simple and just for the scene. The princess smiled."
While talking, there was already a young man from the winery. Seeing that it was Murong Xueyan, he said with a smile on his face, "Sir."
"I'll take this lady around. You're busy. You don't have to say hello." Murong Xue smiled kindly at the little man.
When the servant went far away, Princess Qionghua smiled with less agreement: "It's just a servant. As for such flattery?"
"This palace is not flattery." Murong Xueyan generously said to Princess Qionghua's eyes, "Princess, you should know that people are originally equal, and no one is born superior. What's more, a winery is composed of dozens of employees. Only when everyone is united can the winery better and better."
Her words sound a little reasonable. No wonder this winery can achieve such an achievement... Princess Qionghua has some admiration in her heart, but she is not convinced on her face and still pretends not to agree.
Murong Xueyan pretended not to know and took the noble princess to visit the production sites of the winery. All the workers only cared about the work they were doing and did not care about the arrival of these two bright and amazing women. What's more, Murong Xueyan also brought customers to visit more than once in order to take orders. Seeing this, Princess Qionghua became more and more admired.
Out of the winery, it was almost noon. Murong Xueyan took Princess Qionghua to Tianxiang Building for lunch.
"Did you come here with King Jing before?" Princess Qionghua asked.
"I've been here a few times." Murong Xueyan frowned slightly, remembering the scene where the two of them ate together after choosing the Jade Buddha in the Jade Dynasty before the Empress Dowager's birthday.
That was their first "peaceful coexistence". At that time, he ordered every dish and explained the name and meaning of the dish to her. Unfortunately, at that time, there was another woman in his heart.
"What kind of food does King Jing like to eat?" Princess Qionghua asked again.
"He..." She remembered that he was happy and enjoyed when her novice cooked for him that day, and took a smile from the corners of her mouth. "He likes everything, especially..."
"What is it?" Princess Qionghua couldn't wait to ask.
"This is a secret between me and him, I won't tell you." Murong Xueyan raised her eyebrows and smiled.
"You! ..." Princess Qionghua looked at her angrily and couldn't speak.
Murong Xueyan put a piece of mushroom in her bowl and smiled like a flower: "This mushroom tastes good. It's very delicious. Try it."
"..." Princess Qionghua stared over angrily.
"Princess, there is a sentence in my palace. I don't know whether to say it or not." Murong Xueyan looked at her solemnly.
"What do you want to say, just say it."
Murong Xueyan paused and said word by word, "Sometimes it must be in life, and there is no time to force it in life."
"Exercive? Are you talking about this palace against King Jing? Princess Qionghua asked. What if I tell you that I want to force it?
"Then I'll give you another sentence. Don't ask about love and hate yourself, and force it to add more sorrow.
"Don't talk to me about these literary sentences. I don't eat this." Princess Qionghua completely disagreed this time. "I only know that what I want must be obtained through my own efforts, and I will not hesitate even if it is reluctant."
Infatuated men and women... Murong Xueyan shook her head helplessly.
