The ruthless prince and the enchanting concubine

Chapter 116
In the harsh winter, Mu Lingxun and Ning Yan strolled in the vast wintersweet garden, surrounded by the endless bright red wintersweet, and dotted with patches of white snow...

The cold wind was strong, and the condensed Yan mink robe fluttered, like a silver-white butterfly, so beautiful, it seemed to have a sense of lightness.

"Young Madam, I have a question. I am very curious. If I ask, I hope Madam will not take offense." Mu Lingxun suddenly stopped in his tracks, and when he turned around, he also slapped Ning Yan in the face. There were two gazes with unknown flavors. This time, his words did not contain the slightest provocation, and some seemed to be pure curiosity. "Why does King Jing'an care so much about the young lady? At the last banquet, he almost got into a fight with a nobody like me. It was so scary."

After Ning Ningyan heard this, her eyebrows frowned slightly, as if she felt a pain in her heart, she also stopped and turned her head to one side, as if she was thinking about something, or admiring a red stalk next to her. plum.

Seeing this scene, Mu Lingxun smiled slightly.

"If Young Madam finds it in the way, don't say anything, just treat me as Mu Lingxun talking too much." After speaking, he wanted to move on.

"Guard Mu misunderstood, and there is nothing obstructive." Ning Yan turned her gaze to Mu Lingxun's face, and a few residual snow falling with the wind fell on her face. She raised her bare hand lightly, slowly wipe away.

"King Jing'an has a very good relationship with my general. He is very familiar with me and takes good care of me. The reason is simply that I am his friend's wife. Guard Mu is not from the Central Plains, so he may be a little unclear about etiquette. He is overly enthusiastic about me, King Jing'an just doesn't want me to get drunk and see it as indecent." Ning Yan answered cleverly, with a calm expression on her face, as calm as the surface of a lake.

"Hehe, so that's the case. It seems that King Jing'an is also a warm-hearted person, but it's a pity that his temper has exploded." Mu Lingxun said softly, never leaving Ning Yan's face, as if he wanted to be on it. It's like finding some flaws, but it's a pity that Ning Yan has always been as calm as water, her cold eyes are still there, and there is no trace of unnaturalness on Ruyu's face.

The red plums were like fire, delicate and charming. Mu Lingxun walked among them, and couldn't help saying admiration words. Walking on the snow, his pair of black satin thick-soled cotton boots were also slightly wet.

"Young Madam, this Central Plains has the beautiful scenery of the Central Plains, and my Beiyuan has the customs of my Beiyuan. I wonder if Young Madam would be interested in listening to it?" Mu Lingxun didn't know why he was interested. Tell Ning Yan Yan.

"Of course I am willing. Please tell me, Guard Mu. It will open my eyes." Although Ning Yan said this, she didn't have any sense of expectation, and all she had was respect for the guests who came from afar. .

Mu Lingxun looked in the direction of Beiyuan Kingdom, his eyes focused, as if his eagle-like gaze could pass through thousands of miles.

"My Beiyuan Kingdom has a large land and rich resources, the folk customs are simple, and the products are rich. This is secondary, but there is one thing, our country is not like the Central Plains, the folk customs are so weak. Especially the women here, all seem to be powerless. And in our Beiyuan country, everyone, male, female, old or young, can ride horses and shoot arrows!" Mu Lingxun's eyes lit up, and his words carried a sense of pride, and the vertical line in the center of his eyebrows might have become more conspicuous due to excitement .

Ning Ningyan was expressionless, as if she had no reaction to what Mu Lingxun said, let alone admiration, there was an expression between the corners of her eyes and brows, and Mu Lingxun couldn't tell whether it was contempt or disdain or not. of what.

"Mu Shiwei, it's just that one side nurtures another side. The women in your country can ride and shoot well, while the women in our country can sing and dance well. In your opinion, there is room for comparison between the two?" Ning Yan Gently smoothing the messy strands of hair on his forehead, his expression is so natural.

"Hehehe..." Mu Lingxun shook his head as if sighing softly. The purple figure was so dazzling on the snow, and the gold and silver threads on the brocade clothes were shining brightly.

"Young Madam's mouth is so good that I, Mu Lingxun, have to admire it too." Wei Wei said a word, as if unwilling, as if mocking. "Guang Pingzui said this, the young lady may not understand it, that's all! I, Mu Lingxun, are quite interested today, how about showing some arrows to your lady? I just said that everyone in Beiyuan country is good at riding and arching." Naturally, even an ordinary guard like me is the same." After that, he flicked the skirt of his clothes lightly, and the skirt was hanging in the wind, and Lamei beside him trembled slightly.

Mu Lingxun walked to the entrance of Lamei Garden with golden steps. Only then did Ning Yan see clearly that he was not here alone. There were several ordinary guards behind him, but they didn't come in.

Ning Yan heard Mu Lingxun's words clearly just now, and when she uttered one sentence, it disturbed her emotions like a broken string...

This reminded her of the previous archery competition with Shen Haoyue in the Royal Hunting Ground. Time flew by, and she didn't know how long it had been since that day, but it was as clear as the next day...

When he came back again, Mu Lingxun's appearance changed slightly. In his hand, he was holding a black-backed ox-horn bow and a gold-bronze quiver inlaid with animal skin on his back. Lin Xun looked even more youthful and energetic.

Ning Ningyan watched from the sidelines, her red lips were lightly pursed, looking indifferent yet elegant...

Today's she is no longer the same as yesterday's Ning Ningyan, she has changed a lot, today she is no longer the one who competed with Shen Haoyue on horseback, her heart has long lost interest, and now she only has the scarred The heart, the body that lost all martial arts...

"Young Madam, you can point at anything in this plum garden, and I, Mu Lingxun, can hit it with just one arrow." His words were so sure, as if the arrow in his hand could be as accurate as his gaze He shot directly at the target, and under the two crouching silkworm eyebrows were those firm eyes, and what was more determined than his pupils was his condescending heart overlooking everything in the world.

"Since Guard Mu has such an elegant mood, how dare I make unreasonable remarks? How about letting you decide for yourself?" After finishing speaking, Ning Yanyan turned around, and the white mink fur robe drew a beautiful arc in the air, She waved to Donghua in the distance, and when Donghua came over, Ning Yan whispered something in her ear.

"I've ordered someone to fetch the Guqin. I still know a thing or two about the melody. I'm here to play the piano today. Let's have fun with Mu Shiwei." Ning Yanyan's voice was mellow, and Mu Lingxun could hear it clearly.

"Hehe, then I'm really lucky. Today I want to appreciate the young lady's piano skills!" After finishing speaking, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he shot from behind at a speed that could not cover his ears. He took out an arrow with carved feathers from his quiver, twisted the vermilion, put on the turnbuckle, and pulled it into the full moon. The arrow flew like a shooting star, and before he saw the arrow go out, the flying sparrow on the other side had already landed.

Although Ning Yan's face was cold and her words were flat, she still secretly admired this Mu Lingxun in her heart. His archery skills were indeed excellent.

The Guqin has been fetched, Ning Ningyan sits on the stone table, her jade fingers start to fluctuate on the strings, very smoothly, and with the bursts of strings, bursts of melodious and slightly sad tunes flow out quietly like flowing water , flowed all over the plum garden of the two of them, and also flowed into Mu Lingxun's heart.
