021 One Heart

When Murong Xueyan and Princess Qionghua returned to the palace, Nangong Yi was dancing swords on the campus of the palace. The sword is awe-blow, like a long rainbow through the sun, while Nangongyi's free and easy posture is like an kite flying in the sky.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. The prince's swordsmanship is getting better and better." Princess Qionghua smiled delicately, took a long sword from the weapon rack, took a sword flower, and immediately attacked Nangong Yi's long sword, making a crisp sound.

Nangong Yi did not stop in his hand and naturally took over the sword move of Princess Qionghua. The two of them came and went, and now they broke down more than ten tricks. Murong Xueyan looked aside and saw that their figures danced very fast, but they cooperated seamlessly, looking so harmonious... A wisp of sourness unconsciously emerged from the bottom of their hearts. Her estimate is still wrong after all. This princess Qionghua is more than "coveting" Nangong Yi. This time she came to celebrate her birthday. Maybe it was her conspiracy.

Murong Xueyan's guess is correct. Indeed, every year, the Northern Qi Dynasty celebrated his birthday with the envoys personally sent by the Eastern Wei Emperor. This year, Princess Qionghua recommended herself to be the envoy, and her purpose was to meet Nangong Yi.

Before the dust settled, I saw him for many years.

The two of them fought against the sword for a long time. Nangong Yi stopped the sword, took a few steps back, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a few years. The princess's sword hair has also advanced a lot."

"The prince still remembers the scene when I and the prince drank and competed with swords in the army." Princess Qionghua seems to have fallen into the good memories of the past, "That time we won the battle. It happened to be a night with stars. The soldiers of our two countries drank and celebrated together. The palace personally toasted the prince's wine and compared the sword with the prince... The stars that night were so beautiful. At that time, the prince had not married the princess, and even the side concubine and concubine..."

This look... Should I say whether she is a nymphomaniac or affectionate?

"The deceased cannot be pursued. I think that the princess should look to the future and not stick to the past." Murong Xueyan added with a smile.

"I know the truth, and there is no need for the princess to teach it." Princess Qionghua looked coldly and simply picked up the woman standing aside and threw it away, as far as she could.

"Xueer, I have to go to my father-in-law's place in the afternoon. You can accompany Princess Qionghua again."

"Looking for my father, what's the matter?" Murong Xue's face looked confused.

"Three days later, it will be the emperor's birthday. Let's discuss the defense of the birthday." After Nangong Yi's explanation, he went back to his room to change clothes.

"Your Majesty..." Princess Qionghua was very disappointed.

"He has always been like this. As his wife, you should understand him. Murong Xueyan said deliberately, "But as an unscrupulous stranger, you don't have to worry about it."

"If I had caught the prince at the beginning, the person standing beside him today would not be you." Princess Qionghua looked at Murong Xueyan with jealousy.

"If I tell you that there has always been a woman in the prince's heart before last year, do you believe it?" Murong Xueyan decided to explain some facts to her to wake her up from her old dream.

"I don't believe it. In the barracks, he didn't say anything, and no one told me about it." Princess Qionghua shook her head desperately.

"In those years, in order to forget the woman hidden in his heart, he chose to join the military camp and make contributions on the battlefield. So, how did he fall in love with you in those years?

That year...

She hinted so clearly that no one in the barracks did not know what was on her mind. She is only fourteen years old, but she already understands her feelings and knows that she likes this brave and magnificent general, but in the eyes of this invincible general, she is still a child.

On that day, she brought him a bowl of wine, greeted him with a smile, and swore in front of everyone, "General, if I grow up, I will marry you."

However, Nangong Yi still regarded her as a child as usual. Naturally, her words were also "child's words" to him. He smiled faintly and rejected her clearly and refused her: "Princess, don't say such childish words. I have a marriage contract with Murong Xueyan, the daughter of our Prime Minister of Qi. In the future, I have no choice but to marry her.

Murong Xueyan. That was the first time she heard the name.

The marriage contract... was a marriage contract that tied them together, and he said he had no choice.

"Marry her? Have you ever seen Murong Xueyan? She asked unyedly.

"I've never seen it." His expression was still indifferent. "What's the difference between seeing and not seeing?"

She didn't understand why he was so indifferent at that time. Only then did he know that at that time, he lost sight of his favorite person. Since the bride is not the person on the tip of her heart, there is no difference between them.

"Since I haven't seen her, I must not like her? General, why do you want to marry someone you don't like?" She looked forward to him with expectation, hoping to influence his heart.

"The will of the emperor has to follow." His answer was only the cold eight words.

These eight cold words are like a sharp sword, cutting her girl's love to pieces, inch by inch. It was the first time in my life that I understood love. At the beginning of love, I was immediately hurt by love.

Her tears dripped down and fell into the wine glass, and he was still indifferent.

However, in his eyes, her injury and her tears may be just a little awkwardness of his little daughter.

Because she is still a "child".

Soon after, she was ordered to return to Beijing and had to separate from him, but she couldn't forget him. Even if the two places were separated, she kept looking for his news.

She knew that he was exceptionally awarded the title of King Jing because of his outstanding military achievements; she also knew that he married Murong Xueyan as his wife in accordance with the will of the previous emperor...

That's the first person I fell in love with. Sweet and bitter are entangled together is an indistinguishable first love. Once a heart is handed over, it can't be taken back.

The sunshine in late spring has a melting warm pot. The backyard of the royal palace is full of spring.

Murong Xueyan took Princess Qionghua to come and go between the flowing water, and instructed her to appreciate the strange flowers and plants in the garden.

Murong Xueyan. I really envy you." The owner of Qionghua suddenly said this.

"Do you envy me?" Her name was changed to "you" and "me", and Murong Xueyan also changed her name. The word "I palace" was held all day long, which really made her tired.

"You can replace the woman who has been in the prince's heart for many years and become the prince's only love; moreover, for your love, you defend so resolutely and drive away the woman who obstructs between you and the prince." Princess Qionghua said.

The princess is flattered. I just don't like to share my husband with others. If he really loves me, even if I don't drive away those trouble-thought women, he should also give them away for me and treat me wholeheartedly.

"Actually..." Looking at Murong Xueyan, who was sincere in front of her, she decided not to pester anymore, so as not to make the princess a soldier. The emperor has betrothed me to the prince of the Western Song Dynasty, so I..."

Murong Xueyan looked at Princess Qionghua with horror.

After a pause, she slowly continued, "I'm here just to get married before I get married."

"It's over..." Murong Xueyan sympathized with this woman. She was respected by the princess, but she was rejected; now she is about to become a victim of political marriage.

This is the cruelty of this era... With Princess Qionghua's heroic character, she can't escape the fate of becoming a tool to win people's hearts...

Fortunately, her marriage with Nangong Yi has changed from the initial "loveless" to a situation where the two know each other.

"So, don't worry, I can't pester King Jing." She smiled sadly.

"Princess, how long will you... be on your wedding day?"

"There are still more than two months left. I... I don't ask King Jing to remember me. I just hope that I can say goodbye to him alone and have the right to pay tribute to my feelings for myself.

Seeing that her originally brilliant face slowly faded, Murong Xueyan couldn't bear it, so she said, "Maybe I can help you."

"Help me?" Princess Qionghua looked at the woman who was regarded as a rival when she stepped into the territory of Northern Qi for the first time. This woman, who is about her age, has a maturity beyond her age in her water eyes, as if she is clear about everything in the world, and exquisite as a flawless crystal... Such clear eyes are like moon and bright clouds, frank and without impurities.

In the world, which woman can have such a mind and be willing to help a woman who has "indiscrimity" about her husband?

"You... are different from what I thought."

"Is the me you imagined to be useless except beauty?" Murong Xueyan smiled faintly. This is the common problem of all women in the world. If the person you love marries someone else, you will either think of that person as unattainable, or you will think of that person as useless.

"I did think so when I saw you at the 'Qianyuan Club' that day." Princess Qionghua laughed.

"The one with the princess's airs is not the real me." Murong Xueyan also smiled, with distant and deep eyes. "Everyone has many different selves, sometimes their true colors, and sometimes they play."

"Yes, if people play for too long, what method do they need to release themselves? Actually, I really don't want to be a princess. I just want to be the daughter of an ordinary family and marry a layman, not a prince and aristocrat. What's the use of being outstanding? If you can't marry the person you love, you won't have happiness. The owner of Qionghua shook his head sadly.

"Not necessarily. Marriage also needs your heart to manage. Murong Xueyan looked at her with encouragement, "Princess, you are so excellent and beautiful. The Prince of the Western Song Dynasty will treat you well. As long as you pay attention, one day you will also be happy.

"Maybe you're right." Princess Qionghua nodded thoughtfully.
