Phoenix Fight: The First Concubine

Chapter 107 Apologize
Only then did everyone know that this was actually a general, they couldn't help being very surprised, seeing how young he was, they didn't expect that he was already a general.

Murong Wei only remembered this name at this time, it sounds very familiar, Li Mian?
Isn't that the very famous cold-faced general, and he is also the nephew of Concubine Hui!
This world is really small, I never thought it was him!

The Li family is a family of generals, and Li Mian is the most outstanding descendant of the younger generation of the Li family. He fought on the battlefield at a young age and was proficient in the art of war. At that time, he was only 5000 years old.

People say that he is Xiao Huo Qubing, and that he will become a famous player like the champion Hou Huo Qubing in the future, and he will be sealed as a wolf.

But he said that Li Mian is just Li Mian, he will never be a champion, and he does not intend to become Huo Qubing.

Such a legendary figure appeared in front of his eyes, but he met each other and did not know each other. If Xiao Mingrui hadn't mentioned his name, Murong Wei would not have known about it.

The others were also very surprised. The maids looked out in amazement, only to see that indifferent figure disappear among the flowers and trees.

Xiangtao's mouth became O-shaped, and she whispered: "It's actually General Xiao Li! Oh my god!"

Murong Wei also forgot to be angry this time, and asked Xiao Mingrui for confirmation: "He is Concubine Hui's nephew, General Xiao Li?"

Xiao Mingrui sat down on one side, and said angrily, "It's him."

"No wonder."

Murong Wei recalled that the first time he saw him, he passed by among a group of wolf-like cavalry. At that time, there were only a dozen or so cavalry, but it gave off a murderous feeling like a heavy tank. , The command line is still, how could it be an ordinary person!

At that time, she didn't know who he was, so she already felt extraordinary. Now that she thought about it, she certainly took it for granted.

Xiao Mingrui kept silent with a gloomy face, seeing that the situation was not good, the maids all lowered their heads and did not dare to vent their anger.

Murong Wei snorted, stood up and said: "The prince came back suddenly, and I'm not prepared yet, let's go take a bath first."

After saying that, he stepped forward and walked towards the inner courtyard gracefully.

This house is not big at all, it is the inner house after going around a small garden and passing the screen wall.

Seeing his wife dumping him directly, Xiao Mingrui got up very depressed and caught up with him.

Xiangtao stuck out her tongue, "My mother, you scared me to death."

She felt that she needed to be very careful. As soon as she came out, she saw Xiao Luzi, "Xiao Luzi, you are back too? Why did the prince come here suddenly?"

Xiao Luzi was also very tired, seeing her forced a wry smile: "It's not that the master sent a letter to the prince, saying that the princess moved to Zhuangzi to live, the prince got off the boat halfway, and came back on horseback, saying that he wanted to give her a gift. A surprise for the princess."

Xiangtao blinked: "It's really a 'surprise'."

How did she see that the princess was only surprised, not happy?
Xiao Luzi looked at her in dismay: "I'd better hurry up and serve the prince."

"Just like you, your whole body stinks, why don't you hurry up and take a bath, the prince will be taken care of by the princess, you stupid, will you go now?"

After thinking about it, Xiao Luzi said gratefully, "Miss Xiangtao is still right, I am confused."

Xiangtao patted him on the shoulder proudly, "You're welcome, I have to go and serve the princess, so take it easy."

Xiangtao returned to the inner house with a smile. Aunt Yue was ordering someone to prepare hot water for the prince to bathe. Seeing that Xiangtao was about to go in, she hurriedly booed: "Don't go in yet."

Xiangtao stood on the side knowingly, but she didn't go in any more.

In the room, Xiao Mingrui looked around, and saw that the layout here is very mountainous and wild, and the furnishings are mainly natural, which is a little fresher than the wealth and prosperity of the palace.

Murong Wei brought tea and put it in front of him: "My lord is exhausted, drink a cup of tea first, and then take a bath and change clothes."

She had sent for his clothes.

Xiao Mingrui looked down at the honeysuckle and white chrysanthemums in the tea, they were all clearing away the heat, and his heart warmed up, the lady still turned towards him.

Although she was stern at the moment, she still didn't treat him badly.

After taking a sip of tea, the irritability, anger and jealousy in his heart melted away like snow, and he calmed down a lot.

"Weier." He stretched out his hand to grab her catkin, felt her resistance, and sighed: "Don't be mad at me, it's all my fault, I apologize to you."

"I didn't have a whim at the time, and I didn't tell anyone, even Xiaoluzi didn't know about it. I was wrong about it. I made you worry about me, and you got sick. I know the news, and I feel very distressed. I know you It's all for me. I owe you."

Murong Wei's voice was muffled, and she questioned: "Is it just a debt?"

Xiao Mingrui heard that her voice sounded a little crying, and quickly pulled her into his arms. As expected, her eyes were red, and her stubborn appearance made him feel so distressed that he wanted to beat him up.

"Good lady, don't cry, don't cry... I know you are angry and I didn't tell you. I said before that husband and wife are one, and important things are not hidden from you. I'm sorry, I didn't do it. I just think about my Wei Er is a smart woman, she must be able to see the clues, and will not panic, but I forgot, Wei Er is only a teenage girl. I am too stupid. You should not bear these things."

Murong Wei punched him hard, leaned into his arms and wept.

This bastard, he has always known how to touch her softest place, and what he said will always make her so tempted.

"Xiao Mingrui, you bastard, you hate it!"

"Okay, I'm an asshole, it's all my fault..." He patted her on the shoulder and comforted her softly.

Murong Wei leaned in his arms, and the manly smell of sweat on his body made her feel strangely at ease.

Obviously, I still hated him before, and was angry with him in my heart, but when I met someone and smelled a familiar smell, all the disputes and sulking seemed to be a thing of the past.

Only his tenderness and love are imprinted in her heart.

Only the longing for him, the deep-seated love overflowed in her heart.

"You don't know how scared I am..." She murmured softly, her voice still hiding the panic that had collapsed that day.

"I told people that you were just missing. At that time, no one could help me. I had only myself. I couldn't sleep all night, and cried by myself. Xiao Mingrui, I hate you so much..."

"Don't be afraid, I will never let you be wronged like this again. Wei Er, I am really glad that I met you in this life."

Murong Wei raised her head and said with tears in her eyes: "I don't want to meet you in my next life, you will bully me."

Just when the smell in the room was getting weirder, Murong Wei pushed him, "My lord, it's time for you to take a bath."

Xiao Mingrui raised his eyebrows, and scolded with a smile: "Don't think you can coax me casually, I won't be angry if you say something nice."

Xiao Mingrui didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said helplessly, "Okay, it's up to you, I'll take a bath right now."

He was ready to be cut.

This time, she must stop being angry.

Murong Wei snorted, and at this time the servant girl outside also asked if she would come in to serve, she asked someone to come in and bring hot water into the clean room, and the other two young eunuchs followed in to serve.

Bath beans and foreign towels are all prepared in the clean room, and Xiao Mingrui is indeed covered in dust and needs to wash off his exhaustion.

Murong Wei had already washed her face, put her back into a lazy bun, and stuck a purple jade hairpin diagonally.

Lu'er next to her was talking about Xiaoluzi's inquiries, Murong Wei raised the corners of her mouth when she heard that, but said: "You let people go and take a look, let people take good care of those who came back in a hurry, and reward some money."

Lu'er nodded in response, and said with a smile: "My lord came back early because of the rush of the princess. It can be seen that the lord is still the most nervous about you."

Murong Wei snorted: "I hope it's true."

In fact, she was no longer angry in her heart, but she still couldn't save face. The idea of ​​a woman was causing trouble, and she wanted him to coax him well, and to rush him so that she could teach him a lesson and let him think about the consequences before doing things in the future.

Lu'er suppressed her smile, she thought the prince and concubine were really interesting couples, maybe this was a special way of getting along between husband and wife.

Murong Wei glared at her: "It's getting more and more unruly, and I'll send you to marry soon."

Aunt Yue is preparing food for the maids. They are some common summer dishes, cucumber with garlic paste, diced lotus root in cold sauce, peanut in plum sauce, eggplant with watercress, tofu with almond...

They are all light and refreshing food, and then there is a bowl of Bigeng porridge, served with milk-flavored steamed buns, it looks very appetizing.

Xiao Mingrui came out of the bathroom, wearing a moon white Taoist robe of muslin, and his black hair was still wet. Murong Wei took a western towel and wiped his hair. Seeing that his face was still tired, his heart ached again.

"Just come back with the official ship well. If you come back in such a hurry, if people find out, I'm afraid they will say that you are impatient."

Although these words were a complaint, Xiao Mingrui didn't get angry. Instead, he felt warm in his heart. He knew that she cared about him.

"So in the future I will still disembark with the official ship. At that time, the imperial court will send people to greet you, and then I will enter the palace. I won't see you later. I really can't wait."

Murong Wei rubbed his stiff shoulders with some strength, and her voice softened: "Isn't it exhausting after all this tossing around? Have some food first, and go to sleep first."

Whoever loves a man, Murong Wei will not be angry with him at this time.

Xiao Mingrui joked with a smile: "The lady is not angry anymore?"

Murong Wei put more strength into her hand and rubbed it to the tired and sore place, which immediately made him grin his teeth.

"Am I angry?"

she asked with a smile.

Xiao Mingrui stared, and finally shook his head in frustration after a long while: "Oh, it's really a mistake that will cause eternal hatred, and if you look back, it will be a hundred years."

Murong Wei burst out laughing, her bright starry eyes flashed, "Husband, don't you want to eat? It's too late for you to regret it now."

Xiao Mingrui picked up his chopsticks and started to eat, not to mention that he was really hungry. Now that he ate these refreshing vegetarian dishes, his appetite immediately whetted. After eating two bowls of rice and eating a few steamed buns, he gradually stopped .

Although he was very hungry, but after all, he was well-bred since he was a child. Even when he was hungry, he still took his time, maintained the demeanor of eating, and looked really elegant.

Murong Wei felt proud for a moment, thinking, this is my man, no one can snatch it away.

Thinking about it this way, the anger has long since disappeared.

After all, he came all the way back to make an apology, so what else could she say?

It would be too much to say some excessive demands.

"Husband, is your meal ready?"

Murong Wei asked with a smile as she ate some fruit.

When Xiao Mingrui looked at her shining beautiful eyes, he suddenly felt a little creepy. Why did he think this smile was very scary?
"What does the lady want to say?"

"It's nothing, I just want to ask, husband, how do you plan to apologize to me."

The implication is that talking about it doesn't work.

Xiao Mingrui slapped his head, "No, of course I won't forget."

He yawned sleepily: "My king is sleepy now, can I go to sleep first and then talk?"

Murong Wei raised her eyebrows: "Okay, if you want to sleep, you can go to sleep."

Wanting to delay the attack, when her anger dissipates, it can be seen that he is not stupid, and he has to take the initiative even when he is passive.

Xiao Mingrui looked at the sky outside, it was already afternoon when he returned to Xiaojiazhuang, now it's getting late.

"Lady, sleep with me. I haven't hugged you to sleep for a long time. I miss you so much."

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but pull her to the inner room.

"It's still early, I don't want to sleep yet."

"Hush, don't talk, just stay with me for a while." Murong Wei was temporarily affected by his eager eyes and deep voice. Seeing that he was a little thinner and tanned, she felt distressed in her heart, so she silently acquiesced. up.

The fine Gesha curtains on the big bed were raised, and a mat was spread, and two or three hollow bamboo ladies made of bamboo were placed on the head of the bed to enjoy the coolness. Xiao Mingrui took off his Taoist robe and only wore his middle coat, and he pulled her to lie down together.

Murong Wei couldn't bear him, so she had to agree.

The cicadas are singing outside the window, the afterglow of the setting sun is falling from the window lattice, the breeze in the late summer evening blows the bead curtains, and the room is quiet.

Xiao Mingrui was indeed tired, he talked to her a few words at first, and fell asleep after a while.

Murong Wei didn't fall asleep, looked up at her man with her chin up, pouted her small mouth, and muttered: "I don't know how to take care of myself, I'm thinner and darker...

After a while when he wakes up, how should he be punished?

Countless thoughts flashed through Murong Wei's mind.

Let him bark like a puppy?

Well, not very well, he must have felt insulted.

How many conditions should he promise her?
Murong Wei thought for a while, until it was getting late and the maids came to ask her for instructions.

Seeing that Xiao Mingrui was fast asleep, Murong Wei got up to take a shower and had dinner.

Yue Gu pulled her and muttered: "Princess, we can't be arrogant anymore. You see how much the prince loves you. This man always cares about face, you can't let him lose face, can you?"

Murong Wei said helplessly: "I know, Yuegu, don't worry about it."

If she wanted to embarrass him, she would have exploded a long time ago, so why should she quarrel in private?
Isn't it because she understands the general situation and cares about the overall situation?

Otherwise, this would have made him restless.

Thinking of Xiao Mingrui's possible embarrassment, Murong Wei felt amused.

This time, he must give him a hard time!
You must think about several conditions, otherwise, she will not do it!

Seeing the confident smile on her face and seeing that she was not angry, Yuegu thought that the husband and wife had reconciled.

How did she know that Murong Wei was planning to blackmail Xiao Mingrui.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Mingrui fell asleep for several hours, and he didn't wake up until nine o'clock in the evening.

This sleep was very beautiful, but Xiao Mingrui felt refreshed. He opened the curtain and looked out, only to realize that Murong Wei was sitting under the lamp watching something. Cut lanterns.

Xiao Mingrui knew that she didn't like having many servants around her, especially when they were alone as husband and wife, she didn't like having servants around.

No, she is busy now.

Murong Wei was picking up the scissors to cut the lanterns, when she was suddenly hugged into a warm embrace, "Wei Er, what are you looking at?"

Murong Wei raised her eyebrows: "I was reading the letter you wrote to me."

Xiao Mingrui looked down, didn't he? Those were all his family letters to her, and they were all well preserved.

"It turns out that Wei Er has been carrying my family letter."

He was elated for a moment, and said softly: "Wei Er, you have worked hard during this time."

Murong Wei snorted: "This is also for our family. Although it is hard work, it should be done."

"Yes, it's our home, the home you and I share."

"They still have to cut lanterns..."

"I'll cut it with you. Remember the poem I wrote you?"

Murong Wei's heart softened, her beautiful eyes flew across, and the light in her eyes flowed, and the beauty under the lamp was like jade, which made Xiao Mingrui a little obsessed for a while.

"Your question is that there is no date for returning, and the night rain in Bashan floods the autumn pond. Why cut the candles in the west window together, but talk about the rainy night in Bashan."

He whispered this poem by Li Shangyin, held her hand and cut the lanterns on the red candle together.

The lead wire on the red candle was cut off, and the light suddenly became much brighter.

The light reflected on his dark eyes, which were as bright and deep as a galaxy, almost sucking her soul into it like a nebula.

Under the brick-red light, her delicate face seemed drunk, with a bit of unspeakable charm.

The eyes of the two people met, and there was a flow of affection between them, and suddenly their hearts were touched, and they knew each other's affection without needing to say more.

Perhaps, this is the legendary tacit understanding.

Under the lamp, she seemed drunk.

Such tenderness, tenderness and tenderness are simply intoxicating.

Xiao Mingrui's gaze looked at her, and that gaze seemed to get deeper and deeper, like a nebula in the universe, a deep black hole, almost able to sink her into it.

"I said, I want to cut the candles in the west window together with you..."

Murong Wei said angrily: "How did I hear that someone gave you a beautiful woman from Jiangnan?"

"Ahem, who said this? Those are the two slaves, I have already dismissed them. Don't you believe in the loyalty of your husband?"

Xiao Mingrui came over with a brocade box and said mysteriously: "Don't be angry, lady, this is what I gave you."

"What is it, so mysterious?"

Murong Wei watched curiously as he opened the brocade box, inside was still an ebony box with exquisite workmanship, I don't know what it contained.

Xiao Mingrui took the key next to it and inserted it into the keyhole, dialed it a few times, and opened the lid of the box.

But I saw that there were hairpin and ring jewelry inside, with exquisite styles and high-quality workmanship, and all of them were high-quality goods.

It's just that she has received jewelry from him before, so it's not unusual, so she was a little confused: "Is it jewelry again? Is there anything special about these, are they antiques?"

Xiao Mingrui shook his head mysteriously, and put it off: "Guess what?"

Murong Wei was very puzzled, how could he be sure that she would not be angry after seeing this thing?

Doesn't this thing have a lot of history?

Murong Wei picked up a pair of bracelets and looked at them, but she didn't see any difference.

She shook her head: "I can't tell, it should be newly made."

Xiao Mingrui smiled slightly, "It's new."

Murong Wei couldn't tell, the light was still a bit dim, she got excited, put on her coat and sat by the bed to have a look at the light.

"Well, I see, there are words on it."

A line of small characters were engraved inside the pair of suet white jade bracelets.

"How to make Qi Kuo, double jump around the bend and escape."

Murong Wei was taken aback, this poem looked familiar, it seemed to be a love poem from Wei and Jin Dynasties.

"A love poem?"

Xiao Mingrui nodded, the corners of the eyes and brows on his handsome face were gentle, he reached out to pick up a pair of red gold peony bracelets in the box, slipped them over her arms, and put them on her arms, his voice resounded melodiously.

"Why do you punch? You have two golden rings on your arms."

This line of poem is also engraved on the armband, and every piece of jewelry is engraved with poems. This is the gift that Xiao Mingrui prepared for her.

He picked up a pair of sterling silver rings inlaid with blue diamonds in lotus pattern, held her catkins and put them on between his fingers.

"Why are you being courteous? About a pair of silver."
