045 Entangled
Murong Xueyan returned to the royal palace and sighed. Originally, it was just an unintentional visit to bring out so many troubles, but the culprit who should have been arrested, but if there is divine help, everything is a step faster. When the truth is clear, it can actually destroy human evidence and retreat whole body. As a result, the case became a headless case.
Fortunately, Du Lanruo finally got what he wanted and got the favor of the emperor. Looking at their love, she thought of herself. In modern times, before she has tasted the taste of love, she is forced to die by a man with a beast's heart; in this era that does not belong to her, the so-called love is more like an illusion of a mirror...
Her beloved, Nan Gongyi, they have never stood on a parallel line.
Concubine Yun targeted Du Lanruo everywhere, and the means were so fierce that she pointed out. Although her status as a princess is not as outstanding as Tulanruo's princess, the Jingwang Mansion can now be said to be her own world. After driving away Liu Xiangxiang's eventful women, she also established her power in the royal palace. Everyone didn't seem to take her seriously in the past. Even Nangong Ming, an old stubborn man who didn't like her at the beginning, was respectful to her.
However, this Nangong Ming must be guarded. Whether he is loyal to the royal palace or not, his collusion with Yunfei is something she has always suspected.
Returning to the royal palace from the palace, Murong Xueyan was so tired that she entered the room and fell asleep from evening to late at night. When I woke up, I suddenly thought that it would be the Mid-Autumn Festival five days later. During this period, I have been ordering Liang Hanzhu and other four people to practice, but the real "cooperative performance" has never been tried - what if the effect is not ideal? As soon as the thought turned, she couldn't sleep anymore, and she couldn't wait for it to dawn immediately.
After tossing and turning in ** for a long time, I remembered that dinner was not used, and I was so hungry. Xiurong has been serving outside because he saw her sleeping. At this time, she was probably still in her sleep. Lifting the quilt out of bed, Murong Xueyan decided to cook by herself!
After adding a cloak to her coat, Murong Xueyan went out of the door. The night was not very deep. As soon as she came out, she was met by Xiurong. She quickly asked her if she wanted to eat. Murong Xueyan smiled and said that she planned to cook in person and opened Xiurong away. In Nangongyi's room opposite, the light had been turned off. Murong Xueyan was secretly surprised, but she understood the reason after passing through the study - Nangongyi was still reading in the study.
Murong Xueyan was too lazy to say hello. She passed directly through the door of the study and went straight to the kitchen, but she didn't know that she had been noticed by Nangong Yi when her figure passed by.
When she came to the kitchen, she pulled out the fire plug, lit the oil lamp, and looked around for the ingredients. She first tasted the seasoning, distinguished the taste, then brought an egg, took the cleaned vegetable leaves, and then found the noodles to prepare a bowl of noodles. After causing a fire for a long time, the stove was uncooperative. The firewood inside only burned a little spark and went out. Murong Xueyan stamped her feet so angry. She learned the usual movements of the maids and took a bamboo pipe to blow the fire. "Boom". The fire finally got bigger, and the firewood under the stove "squeaked", and it quickly became big. A piece of firewood is burning. Of course, Murong Xueyan also had a gray stove dust on her face, but she didn't realize it, and only added water to the iron pot first.
"What are you doing?" The sound of Nangongyi came from the door.
"Cook noodles." Murong Xueyan skillfully beat the eggs with chopsticks and turned around leisurely.
A smile suddenly burst out on Nangong Yi's cold and expressionless face - this usually snow-white and pink girl, with a large layer of black ash on her pointed melon seed face, leaving only two eyes turning smoothly, like a black-faced puppy!
"What are you laughing at?" Murong Xueyan stopped the movement of her hand and suddenly remembered the strange feeling on her face... After that, she must have been dusted when she blew the fire just now. Now let the guy Nangongyi see this super embarrassing side...
"Can you cook noodles?" Nangong Yi laughed enough, Fang asked.
Obviously disbelieving people's tone... Murong Xueyan decided to prove her ability: "Of course, otherwise, I'll treat you to noodles?"
Seeing that Nangong Yi did not answer, she added water to the pot, and then said to Nangong Yi, "Hey, will you add firewood?"
"Add firewood?" Are you kidding? He is a prince above ten thousand people under one person. He comes from a famous family and has never done any rough work since he was a child, except for sharing joys and sorrows with his subordinates in the army...
Thinking back, even Nan Gongyi himself didn't understand. He would listen to the little girl's words obediently and bent down to add a small bundle of firewood to the stove.
"It's almost done. The water is going to open." Murong Xueyan poured the eggs into the boiling water, added seasonings in turn, and finally added a few vegetable leaves when the water boiled again.
"It's done!" The smell of noodles permeated the kitchen, which made Murong Xueyan even more hungry. After extinguishing the fire under the stove, she beat the noodles from the pot, divided them evenly into two bowls, added a few drops of sesame oil to each bowl, and then brought one of them to Nangong Yi.
The snow-white and glutinous noodles are lined with a few green vegetable leaves. There are tender yellow egg flowers floating on the soup. Just looking at the color and smelling the fragrance, I feel very enjoyable. Gently sipping a mouthful of soup, the tasted fragrant and delicious. Nangong Yi swallowed the soup and looked up at Murong Xueyan.
"Is it terrible?" Murong Xueyan stared at the muffled Nangong Yi puzzledly, "Is it that I haven't cooked for a long time, and my skills have regressed?"
"It's delicious." Did you hear a compliment from Nangong Yi?
"Did I hear it wrong? Will you also praise people? Murong Xue's eyes were covered with surprise.
"Eat quickly. I heard that you didn't eat dinner when you came back."
Uh... Is this a concern? It sounds like concern, but the tone is cold... Shake your head and throw away these things. Murong Xueyan lowered her head and ate the noodles seriously.
After eating the noodles, Murong Xueyan decided to walk around. And Nangong Yi did not mean to leave.
Because of this "one-sided fate", Nangong Yi's mood looks much better. Maybe the moonlight is too beautiful, or maybe the back garden of the royal palace is pleasant. The two of them walk side by side, and each has a sense of warmth in their hearts.
"Do you mind telling the story of you and Yun'er?" Murong Xueyan suddenly asked.
"Are you interested in knowing?" Nangong Yi has no intention of rejection.
"Don't worry, I'm not checking." Murong Xueyan smiled at the silver moon, "I just want to know what kind of woman will make you feel that 'once the sea was difficult to be water'."
"Once the sea was difficult, but Wushan was not a cloud." Nangong Yi doesn't read many poems, but he also knows these two poems. Under the secluded moonlight, he was willing to talk to the woman who had visited him twice but had never been a real couple. This little girl who has always thought he doesn't know anything.
"Yun'er and I have known each other when we were very young. She is two years younger than me. At that time, my father's army was stationed in Cangzhou, and Yun'er's father was the assassin of Cangzhou at that time. Yun'er's mother is known as 'the most beautiful woman in Cangzhou', while Yun'er completely inherited her mother's beauty. Of course, when I was very young, I still knew what beauty was.
Nangong Yi paused and seemed to have fallen into a good memory: "I remember that when Yuner was thirteen years old, her mother died. That day, when I saw her crying so sadly in front of the window, I couldn't help hugging her. From childhood to age, I pulled her hair and tore her sleeves countless times. When a large group of people played 'home', Yun'er and I always acted as husband and wife, but when I was alone, it was the first time I held her. When I was fifteen years old, I had an ignorant understanding of men and women. At that time, I suddenly felt that Yun'er in my arms was so beautiful, which made me want to take care of her like this for the rest of my life..."
A lifetime. What a long time it was, and who could predict how many twists and turns there would be in the middle...
"Fifteen years old..." Murong Xueyan read astringently. She is also fifteen years old this year. Is it a coincidence or fate?
"When Yun'er was fourteen years old, we had fallen in love with each other, and the people around us knew that we were a couple. At that time, I asked my father to marry Yun'er, but my father thought that the man's ambition was in all directions, and he should not be short of heroism, and his children's love was long. He said that Yun'er had not yet made it, and it was too early to propose marriage. Nangong Yijian frowned slightly, and his sadness was shrouded in light smoke. "That year, his father was transferred back to Beijing, and Yun'er's father was also transferred to Beijing and promoted to Shangshu because of his outstanding political achievements. If..."
If there is no transfer, if Yun'er still stays in Cangzhou. Maybe today, their lives will not be like this.
"Unfortunate, there is no if." Murong Xueyan interrupted him, "If there is, I'd rather never know you."
Nangong Yi looked at her and couldn't figure out the meaning of her sentence. He continued to say, "After Yun'er's feast at the age of 15, I prepared the ceremony. I wanted to choose an auspicious day to propose marriage, but the palace chose the news. The former emperor heard that the daughter of the book knew the book and the gift, and the emperor appointed her as the crown princess to choose a day to get married."
When the news came, he was like a basin of ice water drenched in his pocket, and he was cold from head to toe. He waited and waited for so long, but as a result, he couldn't match a decree.
On that day, on the eve of her wedding, he disguised as a young man in the Shangshu Mansion and wanted to take her away.
But she refused him in person. They are not their own freedom. They each carry the mission of the family. If they let go of all the decisive elopement, they will only leave a reputation for thousands of years. Moreover, under the whole world, is it Wang Tu? Even if his martial arts skills are unrivaled, he can't escape the wanted by the emperor, not to mention that she is not good at martial arts at all, and she is delicate and expensive...
It can be imagine how she struggled in her heart when she said all this, but there was no other way but to accept such a arrangement of fate.
So he left with a smile and got himself drunk that night.
"The next day, Yun'er got married, and I locked myself in my room for three days and three nights. Three days later, I figured it out and decided to join the barracks with my father and never return to this sad place again. Later, your father asked me to marry you in the court. At that time, I was disiled because of Yun'er's affairs, so I agreed to the marriage of the emperor. It happened that later, the news came from the nomads invading the people of the border fortress. I led the army to garrison. This time, it was five years.
"Your three little wives are married in the border?" Murong Xueyan smiled.
"Wo girl, you really don't know whether to live or die. You drive them away. I didn't settle accounts with you, so you brought it up by yourself."
"If I really did something wrong, can you not find me unlucky with your personality?" Murong Xueyan retorted, "You will come back this year, and why?"
"For you." Nangong Yibai glanced at her. This girl was very clever, but she would also pretend to be confused.
"It can be seen that the emotion is 'unceasingly cut, but the reason is still messy'. As soon as you come back, the entanglement begins again." Murong Xueyan sighed.
It turned out that the past of Nangong Yi and Yunfei was like this... Listening to his story, there was love in his eyes. It can be seen that he has not forgotten Yunfei at all. No wonder they will have private meetings in the palace more than once... What about Concubine Yun? Is she still in love with Nangong Yi, or is she just using her past feelings to fetter him and pave the way for her to ascend to the back position?
