Daughter of the prosperous age: the multi-faceted prince and the only favorite concubine

Chapter 48
Facing Xiaoyan, Murong Hao returned to his usual aloof style, his words were polite and distant.

Yun Xi pursed her lips and laughed secretly, A Hao just loves to pretend, and her face changes faster than the sky in June.But seeing his attitude towards his cousin in name, she couldn't help but feel a little bit of sweetness in her heart.

Xiao Yan didn't seem to care about Murong Hao's unfamiliar attitude, her tone was as usual, and she said, "I don't know why His Royal Highness King Jing is in Lin'an?"

She and Murong Hao are not familiar at all, and they only met once at the palace banquet. If it weren't for the fact that there are only three people in the Murong Dynasty who can call themselves kings, they are the current emperor's younger brother, Chun Wang, and the current second prince Jing Wang and the third prince. Prince Rui, as for the fourth prince who is still young and has not been crowned king, and she knows both Prince Chun and Prince Rui, it is impossible for her to conclude that the one in front of her is the second prince Jing Wang Murong Hao whom she is not familiar with.

"I'm passing by on something!" Murong Hao said lightly.

Hearing Murong Hao being so perfunctory, Xiaoyan was not interested in asking further.As for how Murong Hao met Yun Xi, she was even more unwilling to care about it.

Although she has clearly felt that this life is very different from her previous life, she will never be able to untie her knot with Yun Xi.Since they can't escape becoming sisters with Yunxi in the past and present, let them become strangers, maybe in this way they can get along peacefully.

However, considering the reputation of the General Military Mansion, Xiaoyan still persuaded: "Is it wrong for Your Highness to stay here all the time? I have arranged a guest house for Your Highness, Your Highness can go there to rest."

Murong Hao nodded and said: "Thank you." Then he turned around and said softly to Yun Xi: "Since you are in the mansion, of course you have to visit your aunt, Xi'er will go with me."

Yun Xi naturally wouldn't refute Murong Hao's proposal, besides, she was worried whether her mother would be frightened last night, so she nodded obediently.

When she came to the main courtyard and saw the still glorious Princess Lingxi, Yun Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly glanced at Mother Jiang who was beside her, and shook her head when she saw her. Do you know what happened last night?

But Princess Lingxi didn't notice Yunxi's small movements at all, because all her mind was stunned by the sudden appearance of her nephew in front of her.

She knew that the second prince, Murong Hao, was born by Lan Zhaoyi, who was beside the emperor's brother.Although the princes in the palace are all distinguished, they are actually divided into ranks.

There are only three women around the emperor, but this Lan Zhaoyi is indeed the one with the lowest rank. Her natal family has no choice but to have a background. It is neither as good as Queen Shen Xin who is the daughter of the emperor's teacher, nor as noble concubine Helian as the prime minister. daughter.

Therefore, the eldest prince Murong Hong from the empress was crowned prince at birth, the third prince Murong Jun from the noble concubine was also crowned Prince Rui at the full moon, and the fourth prince Murong Qin was still young.Murong Hao was the only one left in the palace, weak and sick, he left the palace to recuperate, and in the end only in his twenties was he reluctantly named King Jing.

Murong Hao would only appear in the palace during New Year's celebrations, and the rest of the time even Emperor Wanshou would not show up.

The emperor doesn't like his son, and Lan Zhaoyi lives in the palace like an invisible person.

So Princess Lingxi couldn't figure out how King Jing Murong Hao would appear in Lin'an.

"Haven't you been recuperating in the palace? Why are you here?" Princess Lingxi asked suspiciously.

"My nephew is weak and has been raised in Lin'an in the south of the Yangtze River. He only goes back to the palace every year when the New Year is approaching." Murong Hao replied respectfully.

Princess Lingxi was startled in surprise, and asked: "Ancestral rules, princes are not allowed to leave the capital without edict, does your father know about this?" His tone was full of worry.

"Don't worry, aunt, this is what the emperor allowed." Murong Hao naturally understood the uneasiness in Princess Lingxi's heart, but he had a little more affection for the aunt in front of him, so he was naturally willing to patiently explain to her.

Hearing that it was the meaning of the emperor's brother, Princess Lingxi was relieved, maybe the emperor's brother was thinking about King Jing's body.

After thinking about this, Princess Lingxi didn't get entangled, and instead enthusiastically introduced Murong Hao to Yun Xi.

Yun Xijiao smiled and said, "My daughter knows him."

"Oh?" Princess Lingxi was shocked again, and said, "When did you know King Jing?"

Jun Xi lowered her head in a shy manner, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "Last time, he saved my daughter." Then, she talked in detail about how she and her mother were assassinated in Beijing, but she was rescued by Mu Jing. I said it again.

After hearing what Yun Xi said, Princess Lingxi was already in tears. She put her arms around Yun Xi and said, "It's because your father and I are not good, which caused Yun'er to suffer." Then she pulled Murong Hao and said: "Thanks Where is our brother Hao?"

Yun Xi patted Princess Lingxi on the back and comforted softly, Murong Hao also let Princess Lingxi hold her hand, and stood there obediently, but kept half of his eyes on Yun Xi.

Sure enough, Princess Lingxi also stayed with Murong Hao bitterly, which was exactly what Murong Hao wanted, so that he would have the opportunity to see Yun Xi every day, see him from time to time, and make her smile.

The man in the mansion, Chu Weijing, still didn't come back, so after Yunxi and the others had lunch together in the main courtyard, Princess Lingxi was tired and went to rest, and Murong Hao personally sent Yunxi back to Tingxuelou to rest.

When he was heading to the guest house, he ran into Shen Xiaoyan on the way.

Without Yunxi by his side, Murong Hao was very impatient dealing with women.But the one in front of him was his cousin, his aunt's biological daughter, so he was too embarrassed to walk away, so he could only stand there stiffly waiting for Xiaoyan to come to greet him.

Sure enough, Xiaoyan came over to salute and said, "I have met His Royal Highness King Jing." Her attitude was unusually respectful.

"Is there anything else the princess wants?" Murong Hao was a little surprised.

"Your Highness, please protect the safety of the General Military Mansion for the sake of mother." Xiaoyan knelt down with a plop, and raised the sign representing the Commander of the General Military Mansion with both hands.

"Why do you remember me?" Murong Hao asked suspiciously, "I'm just a guest here."

"My mother is pregnant, and my father hasn't returned home for a long time. Xiaoyan has no elder brother to trust, so I can only ask His Highness to take care of the General Military Mansion for the sake of my mother and younger sister Yunxi."

Xiaoyan begged, no matter how resourceful she is, she has nothing to do in the face of absolute violence. Besides, the guards in the mansion are not bad for guarding the house, but if she faces a brutal assassin, she can only be defeated.

And according to the observations of last night and today, she never believes that her cousin is just a weak prince and a nominal prince. She believes that he must have the strength to protect the General Military Mansion and wait for his father to come back, but the premise is that he is willing to do so. Do.

Murong Hao looked at Shen Xiaoyan in front of him, admiring that she was indeed Grand Master Shen's granddaughter, this ability to know people was probably unmatched among women.

He didn't refuse right away, took the sign and said: "The princess is honorable, get up quickly. For Yunxi's sake, I will keep the General Army's mansion safe." After that, he went straight to the people in the front yard.

Xiaoyan breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, looked at King Jing's broad and straight back, and couldn't help but blurt out and ask, "Is she that good? Is it worth your... heart and soul?"

"She's the best for me." Came a firm but unmistakable voice.
