Chapter 54 Goodbye to the Empress Dowager

Zhao Ling took Murong Xun to the paddock. Murong Xun took a close look and saw that there were really many people coming today. Instead, all the handsome heroes of Daxiang were invited. Along the way, he received the attention of all parties. Zhao Ling took all this for granted, but Murong Xun in his arms was not as calm as him. Murong Xun, who did not like to be noticed, suddenly had a feeling like sitting on a needle.

After skipped all kinds of people all the way, she suddenly thought that the people of the Shangguan family would also come today. If Li Nanyang saw her, wouldn't the plan be ruined? When he looked at the people of the Li family, Murong Xun breathed a sigh of relief. He saw Li Shen, the head of the Li family, riding on a jujube red horse. Behind him were two young and handsome princes, one of whom was Li Nanhui, the third son of the Li family, who called Li Nanyang back when he met Li Nanyang that day. He was light. Glancing at Murong Xun, he should not have recognized her. The other is a relatively superficial, star-faced and sword-eye. There is a different heroic spirit, but there is a look of indifference between his eyebrows, as if he is outside the bustle, but his identity should be Li Nanchen, the second brother of the Li family. But I didn't see Li Nanyang's figure.

The carriage continued to move forward, and the Shangguan family was next to the Li family. The first was Shangguan He. He was also dressed in a dark red white crane official uniform, riding a black horse. His face was very tight and he was not in a good mood. Behind him was Shangguan Yingxue in a light yellow dress. Today, she rolled up all her hair and fixed it with a ribbon. Under her body, she was riding a white horse, not a The taste of cleverness. Next to him was a young man, whose eyebrows were somewhat similar to Shangguan Yingxue. It was Shangguan Yingxue's brother Shangguan Hui.

There were two figures standing not far behind them. They did not ride a horse. One leaned on the trunk of the tree, playing with his fingers boringly. The white clothes were flying, exquisite, and the other stood behind his back, as warm as jade, like a cup of Mingming. Naturally, these two are the brothers Shangguan Zisang and Shangguan Zixuan.

Both of them looked at the two people on the horse's back. Shangguan Zixuan was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were even darker, and he still squeezed out a smile at Murong Xun. Shangguan Zisang picked up the corners of his mouth, showing a little contempt and disdainfully looked away.

Murong Xun shook his head. This little guy is still angry!

In the future, there are people from the Huangfu family, but there are not many people from the Huangfu family. Only Huangfu Junhua, the current head of the Huangfu family, has a few young people. Huangfu Junhua is a junior in the head of the four major families, but at the age of 30, he has mastered the huge Huangfu family, which makes the Huangfu family better than his father in all aspects of military and politics. He is really a person who should not be underestimated.

Murong Xun looked around, but did not see Murong Hua.

Zhao Ling seemed to see Murong Xun's thoughts and said in her ear, "My father-in-law is a little uncomfortable, but he didn't come to participate!" Then he said, "But the princess doesn't have to worry. I have called the royal doctor and father-in-law for treatment!"

Murong Xun nodded and said lightly, "The prince bothered!"

A few steps forward, I saw Zhao Che riding on the dark horse. Today, he is dressed in a bright yellow brocade suit, which makes him majestic and inviolable. His sharp and bottomless eyes are in the eyes of everyone present. There was a faint smile on the corners of his mouth. I don't know whether it's contempt for the world or a mockery of myself.

He was accompanied by two young women. One was Fang Qiaoer, a concubine who had a relationship with the King of Qin that day, and the other was a little face-to-faced and didn't know what his identity.

After Zhao Ling turned over and got off the horse, he helped Murong Xun off the horse. The two walked to Zhao Che's horse together. Zhao Ling bent down and said, "I've met the royal brother, the Empress Hui, the Empress Roufei!"

Murong Xun also followed Zhao Lingfu. When he heard that two women were Roufei, he looked up at her. It turned out that this woman was Roufei Huangfu Xiuhua. Huangfu Xiuhua's apricot eyes and cherry lips are also a beauty, and her eyebrows are somewhat similar to Huangfu Yuhua.

Zhao Che said lightly, "Don't be polite, get up!" After a pause, he looked at Zhao Ling and frowned slightly and asked, "How is your body recovering?"

Zhao Ling held his fist and said, "Thank you, brother, for your thought. The wound has recovered, but occasionally it hurts faintly, and your chest is short of breath!"

Zhao Che nodded, his eyes were darker, and he said, "That's better to pay attention. You must not be competitive today. If you hurt your body, I won't forgive you!"

Zhao Ling shook his head with a smile and said, "I wrote it down!" Then he said, "Brother Rong retreats first and please say good to the Empress Dowager!"

"Go ahead, the Empress Dowager is also thinking about you!"

Zhao Ling led Murong Xun to the front of a tent, which was where the Empress Dowager Luan stopped.

After the maid of honor reported, the Empress Dowager announced Zhao Ling and Murong Xun in.

As soon as I entered the tent, there was a sense of coolness, and there was no heat outside. Murong Xun looked and saw that there was ice in the corner of the wide tent. No wonder it was so cool.

When you go inside, the light is a little dim. In the deepest upper seat, there was a dignified woman.

I haven't seen it for eight years. The Empress Dowager hasn't changed much. It seems that even the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes have not been added. Her dark hair has become a moon-facing bun, with crystal imperial phoenix hairpins, emerald jade earrings, smiling at the corners of her mouth, and a mother's kindness in her eyes.

dignified kindness, the mother of the world.

Murong Xun clenched her teeth tightly. If she hadn't experienced it herself and knew how vicious this woman was, she would have been deceived by her gentle and kind hypocritical face!

"I've seen the Empress Dowager!" Zhao Ling lifted the hem and knelt down in front of the Empress Dowager. Murong Xun also knelt down with him, hiding the hatred in his eyes.

"Get up!" The Empress Dowager smiled warmly and said, "Look at these little couple, it's really a pair of beautiful people!"

"Isn't it? I just looked like I came out of the painting!" Sitting on the right side of the Empress Dowager was Shangguan Yuer. Today, she thought that she was wearing a colorless riding suit for the scene. Her hair was behind her head, revealing her white neck. Her eyebrows were as far away, and her phoenix eyes were like spring water, just like a national peony. After seeing Murong Xun clearly, Shangguan Yuer was stunned for a moment. This was not seen outside the palace that day. Have you been a woman? What is her relationship with Shangguan Zisang? The hesitation in her eyes flashed, and Shangguan Yuer then looked at Zhao Ling and said with a smile, "The seventh brother is really. If you marry a new daughter-in-law, you don't bring her into the palace to see with us. It's like we will rob your daughter-in-law!"

Zhao Ling also smiled and said, "Your concubine Mingjian, I have never used such an idea! Is it all because my brother was injured a few days ago? After the minister's body is restored, he must take the princess into the palace to talk to the empress dowager and the noble concubine every day!" Zhao Lingli is thoughtful and has a warm smile, but always has a kind of indifference, which is not easy to get close to, but he also maintains just the right distance.

"Oh!" Zhao Ying, the eldest princess on the left, sneered, "The beauty of the seventh brother is very wonderful. Where do you remember us as elders!" Zhao Ying was wearing a plain dress today, with a small white flower on her head, slightly pink, but the pain in her eyes did not fade because of time.

Everyone present knew the grudge between Zhao Ying and the Prime Minister's mansion, and they smiled slightly, and no one answered.

Zhao Ling shook her head and smiled and said, "The royal sister is joking. I forgot who the younger brother is, and I dare not forget the royal sister!" Aren't you afraid that the royal sister will ask the little brother to wear the clothes of the maid of honor at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet and be teased by the princes?

Speaking of what happened when she was a child, she remembered Zhao Ling's funnyness at that time. Zhao Ying couldn't help smiling, and the stiff atmosphere eased a little.

"This sister is so beautiful. Let's play with me!" I saw a seven- or eight-year-old little boy who was pink and jade carving came out from nowhere, holding Murong Xun's leg and acting coquettishly, which made everyone laugh. The Empress Dowager pointed to the little boy and said with a smile, "It seems that this love for beauty has been available since childhood!"

Zhao Ling gently knocked on the little boy's head, squatted down and smiled, "Your Highness, this is not your sister. You have to call her aunt!"

Murong Xun looked down at the little boy holding his legs. Is this Prince Zhao Zhi? This child is really pitiful. From the day of birth, he has experienced some life and death. He is plagued by diseases. His skin is paler and weaker than that of a normal child. It's just that the child's eyes are as black as thick ink, white as clouds in the sky, and black and white are so clear and clear.

If the child in the womb had been born safely, it would have been so big at this moment! Unconsciously, a few soft colors flashed in her eyes. She gently touched the little boy's head and whispered, "What does Your Highness like to play?"

While Zhao Zhi was about to speak, he was held by his arm and gently taken aside. He only heard a gentle female voice: "The prince only knows how to play. If you can't recite the article taught by Taifu, your father will punish you!"

Zhao Zhi immediately had a little more fear on his face. He lowered his head, stood aside calmly, and whispered reluctantly with his sleeves, "I almost remember it!"

Looking at the sound, Zhao Zhi saw a woman in a dark blue palace costume standing beside her. She was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a peach blossom face and beautiful eyes, but with a little heroism. This is the prince's biological mother, the Empress Defei. Defei was taken into the palace soon after Zhao Che ascended the throne. When Murong Xun was still the queen, the two took care of each other in the Zijin Palace, but they had some friendship. This German concubine is cheerful, but she is very close to Murong Xun.

Concubine De took a deep look at Murong Xun, patted Zhao Zhi's head and said, "Go and play by yourself!" After she smiled at Murong Xun, she walked towards a seat inside. There was no communication with the women present in words, as if they were independent. The people present seemed to be accustomed to her taciturnity and didn't care. What happened to prevent the cheerful woman from being so indifferent? However, gradually, a sneer appeared in Murong Xun's heart. Zhao Che was unsympathetic. How can he talk about marrying such a person?
