Phoenix Fight: The First Concubine

Chapter 121 Five Years

She was wearing a light green peony flower-wrapped beige with narrow sleeves, and a moon-white skirt with silver and lanthanum trim, which looked like a lily blooming leisurely.

So peaceful, so youthful and full of vitality.

Xiao Mingrui's heart tightened, thinking of some things, he couldn't help feeling nervous.

"Husband, I'm about to ask someone to add some more dishes. I wonder if there are any taboos for the guests you invite today? I think they are all Huaiyang dishes."

She came slowly with a smile, and the lotus steps were graceful. The eight-treasure beaded jade necklace around her waist moved with her steps.

Xiao Mingrui said in a deep voice: "It is none other than Master Zhou. He is from Huaiyang, so he prepared these dishes."

"Oh?" Murong Wei said with a smile: "That's good, let's have some Jiangnan dishes prepared. The squirrel mandarin fish is good. I think the corn we keep here can be used, and sweet potatoes are fine too... It just happens to be a dish Advertise it widely."

Xiao Mingrui watched as she handed the list to the kitchen staff, "Do you want to prepare the flower carvings from Shaoxing?"

"That's right, add Nurhong."

Murong Wei didn't notice Xiao Mingrui's abnormality, after she picked flowers and placed them in the flower hall for a banquet, Xiao Mingrui said: "Wei'er, just let the people below do it, you can talk to me .No, let's go outside."

Murong Wei asked in surprise, "Ah? What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I'm stuffy in the room, go outside, we'll pick up Master Zhou together later."

Murong Wei entrusted the matter to Lu'er, took a few maids with her, and went out with Xiao Mingrui.

"The weather is not hot, so it's suitable to go out and walk more. When I go to the Ministry of Rites to take up my post, I will be busy. Tomorrow we will be loose around here. Fishing, planting flowers and grass in my spare time, I feel comfortable."

Murong Wei didn't know what he was feeling all of a sudden, and he said that he wanted to relax because he was going to work, so he didn't think much about it.

"Very good. If a person is constantly busy, his body can't take it anymore. Even if he has to be busy with court affairs, he must not forget to rest. Rest is for walking a longer distance, my husband, what do you say? no?"

Xiao Mingrui looked at her with an inexplicable expression, and suddenly held her hand, ignoring the sideways gaze of the little maid beside her.

A group of servants quickly lowered their heads.

"how……"

"Weier, remember what you said. You have to walk with me until the end."

The expression on his face was a little urgent, and he didn't know what he was worried about.

Murong Wei looked at him in surprise, and smiled: "Why do you say that? Don't worry, as long as you don't abandon me, how can I abandon you?"

Murong Wei was very puzzled, what happened to him today?
Only then did she realize that Xiao Mingrui was very strange today, she didn't know what happened, why did she say that?
She glared at him, thinking that the sun is really out in the west today: "Why do you want to swear? Well, I swear. Murong Wei will not leave Xiao Mingrui, as long as you don't let me down, I will never let you down." .”

"There won't be that day."

Xiao Mingrui held her hand tightly, and led her into a pavilion beside her to sit down.

In the ear is the fragrance of birds and flowers, the sky is clear and blue, and a group of egrets fly up to the blue sky and leave among the white clouds.

There is a breath of thriving in the air.

Murong Wei stretched her body and leaned comfortably on the back of the chair, admiring the blooming spring.

"Don't think I'm joking, Weier, I..."

Can't live without you.

Murong Wei covered her lips and smiled, the sun was shining brightly: "Husband, why are you so nervous? Why don't you say these strange things when you go to see the corn planting?"

Xiao Mingrui didn't answer, but said: "Anyway, you just remember. We still have a lot of life to enjoy. By the way, I got Xie Mingyan out of the palace."

Murong Wei raised her eyebrows, looked at him for a while before asking: "What did she tell you?"

Otherwise, why would he be bafflingly telling himself these things?
Murong Wei was so angry in her heart, could it be that Xie Mingyan was speaking ill of her behind her back again?

Wasn't it just that at the beginning, she just heard what that annoying woman said to make Xiao Mingrui be careful about her.

It's so angry that people scratch their hearts and livers!

So hateful!

Relying on yourself as a prophet is great, knowing history is great.

"I didn't say anything, and it's not like you don't know, she always likes to talk nonsense."

Murong Wei widened her almond eyes, pursed her rosy mouth, and turned her head halfway angrily, "Just lie to me, she must have told you something. Do you believe what she said? What did she say? Are you talking about me, saying that I treat you badly or become a vicious queen?"

Xie Mingyan thought she was Snow White?

Seeing her angry look, Xiao Mingrui suddenly laughed.

He stroked his forehead and shook his head, thinking that he was really confused.

How could he take that unknown thing to the present and make her promise it.

Besides, he knew everything, so couldn't he change what didn't happen?

Sure enough, he went to the doctor in a hurry and lost his head for a while!
"Hey, baby, don't be angry, she didn't say anything bad about you. Besides, even if she said something, can I believe what she said or not you?"

Murong Wei stared back at him: "Then why did you say something weird about Lao Shizi? You still keep making me swear?"

Do you think Murong Wei is a fool?
Xiao Mingrui had a headache, why did he suddenly say those words just now?

Seeing such an extremely beautiful her for a while, I really can't bear the way the beautiful things are broken, so I can't help saying these words, right?

But, that's still a long way off.

But if he can't pass the current test, maybe his wife will ignore him.

"Fortunately, Xiaoluzi has always been knowledgeable, and he drove the ignorant people far away early in the morning.

Xiao Mingrui put his arms around her halfway, and said softly: "I was confused just now. Didn't that woman say that she was dreamed by the concubine mother? I don't think Wei'er will be like that. What if the mother takes her away?"

Murong Wei looked at him in shock, didn't he know something?

"What are you talking about? I didn't know about Concubine Shu before. Don't bring Xie Mingyan together with me, that's an insult to me."

Although she shouted loudly, in fact, her tone was very guilty.

For some reason, she didn't want to tell Xiao Mingrui that she came from time travel.

Although it is very likely that she and Xie Mingyan did not come from the same time and space, she still does not want her love to be mixed with other factors.

Now that you have come to this world, what is the benefit of continuing to hold on to this matter after exploring whether it is from time travel?

Let the past be the past. Now, she just wants to live in the present.

Xiao Mingrui was actually just talking nonsense, seeing that she no longer brought up the matter of thanking Mingyan, he changed the subject and said: "Never mind what happened to her, anyway, she is in my hands now, so it won't cause any hindrance."

Murong Wei nodded: "What are you going to do with her?"

"Shut it up."

Murong Wei frowned, she didn't sympathize with Xie Mingyan, this person should think about the consequences before doing anything.

It's just that I can't help feeling a little sad in my heart. After all, I have also time-traveled. Thinking that if these unknown things are exposed, I am really worried about being locked up in Qihuo Keju.

It would be terrible if it was regarded as a monster.

However, before that, she really wanted to see Xie Mingyan.

She wanted to know what the other party's world looked like?
Speaking of which, she was really curious.

Seeing that she was so far away from mentioning this matter, Xiao Mingrui laughed. He thought, could it be that God made Xie Mingyan appear just to let him change the fate of some people and make his life more fulfilling?

If this is the case, Xie Mingyan is really worthy of gratitude.

However, it is absolutely impossible for him to let people go.

Besides, no one knew that Xie Mingyan knew about the future.

There are no rare goods to live in, and no one will pay attention to this person's life and death.

Years later, who would remember that such a court lady once appeared?

Murong Wei rolled her eyes, raised her eyebrows and said: "Don't talk about her, it's annoying to mention her. Husband, didn't you say you want to have a good rest, it's just right, go fishing with me. I don't believe it, I can't catch any fish here .”

Xiao Mingrui pinched her little nose lovingly: "Okay, I will accompany you. But don't play tricks if you can't catch it. But you have to accept the bet."

Murong Wei said angrily: "How can there be such a thing, big men should give way to little women."

"Didn't you say to be fair and just? Who said that men and women should be equal?"

Murong Wei muttered: "There is another word, women first."

"Okay, let's play a game of chess, this time, I will let you three sons."

Murong Wei doesn't know how to play chess, she learned it when she was here at Murong's house.

She still only knows how to play chess, but not Go.

Someone came with chess and a chessboard, and after a while, the two set up the Chu-Han River boundary in the gazebo.

On this side, Xiao Mingrui won two sets at once, and Murong Wei stopped playing immediately.

"Stop playing, I can't win every time I play chess with you, it's really annoying. I'd better find someone else to practice."

Xiao Mingrui couldn't help but said: "The next game, I will definitely win."

Murong Wei had no choice but to accompany him to another game.

Fortunately, Xiao Mingrui's chess skills are superb, and Murong Wei finally won a game with a handicap in the middle, even though she only won a piece, it still made her very happy.

"It can be regarded as the turned serf sang, and I won!"

Murong Wei proudly stretched out her hand and said, "You need money to win. I lost two games to you."

Xiao Mingrui shook his head: "This game is not gambling."

"What's the bet?"

The old God Xiao Mingrui said: "Betting on other things. If you win, I will kiss you. If I win, you will kiss me. How about it, Weier, is it fair to be a husband?"

"you you……"

Murong Wei jumped up and scratched him in embarrassment at the presence of his old god: "My husband bullies others, how can I bet so much? Hmph, no, no."

Xiao Mingrui was amused by her barbaric appearance, and seeing her energetic appearance made him happy.

He doesn't want to see a lifeless wife, isn't it good now?

While making trouble, Su De came back.

Xiao Luzi looked towards the pavilion, Xiao Mingrui turned around and asked him, "What's the matter?"

"My lord, Mr. Zhou is coming soon."

Xiao Mingrui smiled and said: "It's just right, Wei'er, stop making trouble, straighten your clothes, and come with me to meet people."

Murong Wei also knew that this was not the time to be fooling around, so she glanced at him quickly, got up and brushed off her clothes, tidied up her appearance, and then gave Xiao Mingrui some trouble.

The husband and wife went to Yimen to pick up people together.

After arriving in front of the door for a while, I saw a carriage driving on the dirt road in the distance, surrounded by guards, all of them were guards from the palace, obviously it was to pick someone up.

But after a while, the carriage stopped in front of the mansion, and Xiao Mingrui snatched it up in two or three steps.

He even stretched out his hand to lift the curtain himself, holding the disciple's ceremony, very respectful.

There should be an old man in the carriage opened the curtain, and hurriedly said: "Don't do that, my lord, I'm going to spoil the old man."

Xiao Mingrui respectfully stood aside and said, "Students should do this for the teacher."

"Having said that, it's better to abide by the rules of etiquette. Your Highness is now a prince and an official of the court, so don't break the rules for me."

This old man is tall and tall, wearing a clean and neat blue cotton robe, with a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, especially the long beard under the chin, which was clamped with a mustache clip, with a beautiful beard fluttering, very chic.

It's just that this person's eyes are very majestic, looking at it makes people feel that they are not angry.

Seeing that Xiao Mingrui attached so much importance to this teacher, he went up to salute in person. The salute was very respectful, and Murong Wei immediately stepped forward to salute.

"It turns out that this is Master Zhou. The prince often tells me about you. When I saw you today, you are indeed an upright minister."

Xiao Mingrui said: "This is the princess."

Zhou Biyang got out of the carriage, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty and Concubine welcome you personally."

Murong Wei smiled and said: "Master Zhou, you don't have to be polite, you see that you are pushing back and forth with the prince, but you don't know what will happen. Let's go in first and then talk."

Zhou Biyang also laughed and said: "This old man is stupid."

Xiao Mingrui greeted the person and entered the door.

Murong Wei did not participate in the discussion between them, after the banquet was held in the flower hall, Murong Wei withdrew.

Looking at a table of Huaiyang cuisine, Zhou Biyang was also moved, and the strangeness of the idea after five years away quickly disappeared.

"I haven't seen Master Zhou for five years, and you are still as hearty as before."

Xiao Mingrui opened a bottle of Hua Diao, and poured wine for Zhou Biyang himself, "It's been five years, and today I'm here to offer you a glass of water and wine, everything is unspoken."

Zhou Biyang was also very moved. After drinking the wine, he sighed: "My lord is becoming more capable now. Well, it's really good now. The old man is very relieved."

"This is all taught well by the master." Xiao Mingrui said with some nostalgia: "Five years ago, I couldn't prevent the master from being forced to leave, but now the master has come back again."

Others see him as a prince, how glorious he is, who knows how much hardship and hard work he has put in secretly, how much blood and sweat he has shed to get it all?
Zhou Biyang first smiled and looked at him with some praise, but said: "Your Highness, don't be proud, there is still a long way to go."

Xiao Mingrui seemed to miss it very much, and said with a smile: "I don't know how long I haven't heard Mr.'s reprimand, I miss it very much."

The two laughed at each other.

Compared with the guests enjoying themselves in the flower hall, Murong Wei's side is indeed much more leisurely.

After lunch, here, Lu'er also came back.

"My concubine, my servants have found out. At that time, the prince followed a few people to a remote and abandoned courtyard in Xikuayuan. The servants saw that there were many guards over there."

Murong Wei raised her eyebrows, thinking, maybe that's where people are hiding?

To be honest, she was still somewhat curious about this time-traveling colleague.

No matter what, at any rate, everyone is time-traveling.

It's just that this person's personality is hard to resonate with her, and Murong Wei really can't feel friendship and sympathy for her.

All of this can only be said to be self-inflicted.

"Okay, you did a good job in this matter, I will reward you later." The corners of Murong Wei's mouth rose, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he began to think about how to meet people.

Tell Xiao Mingrui that she doesn't want to, then it's better to pass on the imperial decree.

Lu'er didn't know who was there, but looking at Murong Wei's smile, she felt a little cold.

I don't know who the princess is planning to plot against with her appearance.

In the afternoon, Xiao Mingrui and Zhou Biyang said they were going to visit Zhuangzi and find a place to fish by the way.

Of course it was impossible for Murong Wei to follow, so she said she was going to pick some flowers and planned to make something fresh to eat at night, but Xiao Mingrui didn't care.

So, without any effort, Murong Wei went to the side of Xikuayuan, bypassed some obstacles, and finally let her find a place.

At this time, Wu Jing was still guarding here, so when he saw Murong Wei and Lu'er beside her, he naturally had to go forward to say hello.

Murong Wei waved her hand: "This concubine came here to ask her some questions on the order of the prince."

Then he walked in very naturally: "Is she in a good condition now, is she still making trouble?"

How did Wu Jing know that Murong Wei came here by herself, but she acted as if she had really asked Xiao Mingrui for instructions, so Wu Jing didn't doubt it, thinking that Xiao Mingrui really asked her to come here to ask some questions.

"It's quiet now. It's just that she is locked here now, and she is not allowed to contact anyone for the time being."

"It's okay, I'll just ask her a few words and leave."

Murong Wei waved her hands with a confident look, Wu Jing didn't dare to ask more, so he took her to the small dark room where the prisoners were held.

It is said to be a small black room, but it is actually a prison cell surrounded by walls on all sides, and the door is sealed by three gates of stone gate and iron gate. The stone gate is very heavy, and it cannot be easily broken by manpower.

However, no one understands the magic of this woman, because it is completely impossible for her to be hijacked.

Finally, after some complicated operations, Murong Wei finally entered the door, and saw that she was locked in this room with two bedrooms and one living room.

Someone will be responsible for delivering meals to her every day, and even grooming and other things are completely arranged, and it is completely impossible to have the opportunity to contact outsiders.

Seeing this kind of room, one can quickly understand that the owner here has actually planned to imprison people long ago.

Therefore, facing this situation, Xie Mingyan inside was also deeply stimulated. When Murong Wei came in, she was staring blankly at the sunlight shining through the skylight above her head which was less than an inch.

Seeing this situation, Murong Wei also secretly sighed.

If she can travel back, she thinks it's better for her not to stay here.

But, who knows what this nonsense time travel is all about?
Arriving here is an inexplicable thing, as for how to go back, I don't even think about it.

Hearing the movement from the door, Xie Mingyan finally turned around.

It took her a while to get used to the light at the door.

After seeing clearly that the person who came was Murong Wei, her face was filled with jealousy and anger.

"It's you!" She stood up suddenly and wanted to rush forward, but Wu Jing next to her simply touched her. She didn't know whether it was an acupuncture point or something. Xie Mingyan was shocked to find that she was sore and weak. on the carpet.

Murong Wei frowned and said, "You guys go out first, I have something to ask her."

Wu Jing said expressionlessly: "Princess, this is too dangerous."

Murong Wei shook her head and said, "Does she still have any abilities?"

Naturally, Wu Jing also believed in his own skills, so he didn't hinder Murong Wei, hesitant for a moment, and took her away.

He closed a wooden door, but the two outside doors were left open, just to avoid any accidents so that he could get in.

Of course, in this case, he didn't think there would be any problems.

However, for safety reasons, he still chose to act cautiously.

Xie Mingyan really didn't have the ability to do anything.

To be honest, when she saw Murong Wei appearing, she was falling into doubt and self-doubt, and she really had doubts about the meaning and purpose of her time travel.

Facing the current situation, she really didn't know how else to get her out of trouble.

Xiao Mingrui didn't fall in love with her as she thought, and even what she longed for never happened.

But many things should not have developed in this direction.

Seeing Murong Wei, Xie Mingyan felt intense jealousy.

This woman in history will be a mother queen in the future.

Originally, all of this should belong to her!
As long as she gets King Luo's love, she thinks that Princess Luo can die in various ways and make way for her.

At that time, she will be able to assist King Luo to ascend to the throne, making him the greatest emperor ever.

And she will also become a famous queen through the ages.

But all of this is developing in an uncontrollable direction.

Thinking of the day when the empress died in childbirth, Murong Wei's performance at that time really made her feel admiration for this ancient woman.

But on the contrary, it is intense jealousy.

Why, why do you, an ancient woman, fight with me?
Xie Mingyan looked at Murong Wei coldly, arrogantly, and contemptuously, and snorted: "Princess Luo, what are you doing here? But I think you came at the right time, you can talk to King Luo. If he doesn't want to If something happens, don't treat me like this, I have some secrets."

Such an arrogant tone changed Murong Wei's original sighing mood.

She suddenly had the urge to reach out and punch someone.

"Really? Okay, then can you tell me about it? I'm curious, what can you know? How did you, an ordinary court lady, know this?"

Murong Wei blinked her innocent and curious eyes, and looked at Xie Mingyan with a smile: "Tell me, let me see what you can say."

"You...Of course I know, I..."

But before the words came out, Xie Mingyan stopped, snorted, and said disdainfully: "I won't talk to you, you let King Luo come. You, an ordinary woman, can't talk about these things."

Murong Wei felt that she was purely looking for anger, isn't this self-abuse?
She found that she and the woman opposite were really playing the piano with a cow, and the other party's thoughts were obviously beyond the comprehension of a normal person like her.

"Tsk tsk, I'm an ordinary woman, so is it possible that you are a saint? That's fine, thank you Mingyan, I came here by myself today, just to ask you something, don't expect the prince to come over."

Murong Wei was really dumbfounded, she had never seen such a proud woman.

Does she feel that ancient women are inferior to her?
Murong Wei didn't dare to think this way yet, there are people outside the world, and there is a sky beyond the sky, she doesn't think it's unusual to rely on her time-traveling identity.

Instead, she was afraid that she would do something out of the ordinary and be misunderstood.

Xiao Mingrui's face changed, and he cursed angrily: "Did you speak ill of me in front of King Luo? Tell you, do you understand?"

"Isn't it just that you can foresee something in the future?" Murong Wei raised her eyebrows and looked at her: "Actually, I just want to ask you, where did you come from? I don't think you look like an ordinary court lady. Let's tell the truth, and don't tell me that the empress is dreaming, you dare to say such ridiculous things."
