Phoenix Fight: The First Concubine

Chapter 126
"Yuwan, it's getting late, you'd better go back home with your aunt and the others, and rest at home." Murong Wei was also talking about seeing off the guests.

She no longer wants to hear Yuwan's ridiculous love theories.

"I won't go, cousin, if you don't agree to me, you will be jealous. Brother-in-law." Yuwan stepped forward excitedly and said, "Do you still remember me, I am Zhou Yuwan."

Xiao Mingrui's expression showed some impatience, "So what?"

Zhou Yuwan was stunned for a moment.

She looked at the obvious indifference on Xiao Mingrui's face, and thought it was because of her rude words.

She had a desperate look on her face.

"I told my cousin that I like my brother-in-law, and I want to marry her as a side concubine. But my sister refused. Brother-in-law, you are a person who does great things, and there will not be only one woman in the future. I like my brother-in-law, I... "

Xiao Mingrui frowned slightly, he interrupted Yuwan's words in a cold voice: "I don't like you."

Murong Wei is also a little angry, is this girl crazy?

She had already made it so clear, yet she still said such words in front of Xiao Mingrui.

She has completely lost Murong Wei's face, do you still want to see someone?
Yuwan's almond eyes widened in a daze, unable to react for a moment.

"No, we just lack time to get along..."

Xiao Mingrui was already angry in his heart, when he saw that his sweet wife had a pretty face, with a bit of embarrassment on her face, he resented that this girl was so shameless and made his little concubine feel wronged.

Wei'er has always valued face, isn't this embarrassing her?
"That's enough." He said in a deep voice, "I don't need to recommend myself as a woman on the mat. Miss Zhou, you're not a hooker girl. Respect yourself."

Zhou Yuwan was obviously shocked by his words, and was speechless for a moment.

Xiao Mingrui pulled up Murong Wei's catkin, his expression turned gentle and he said: "Let's go for a walk, I'll tell you what happened today, it's very interesting."

As he spoke, he pulled his lovely wife around and left as if no one else was around.

Murong Wei looked at him and signaled to the person behind him what to do.

Xiao Mingrui only said indifferently: "In the future, some annoying and insignificant people, just get rid of them. You are my concubine, and you don't want to see anyone if you don't want to see them. Who dares to gossip?"

Murong Wei took a look at him, but her heart was really ironed by what he said.

That is, annoying people, why do you see her?

She clenched her husband's generous palm with her backhand, the corners of her mouth turned up, and the feeling of being embarrassed by her cousin in front of her husband just now disappeared.

Those insignificant people, just get rid of them, she just doesn't want to pay attention to them.

Yuwan seemed to be struck by lightning, and was stunned on the spot.

Xiao Mingrui's words: annoying people, people who don't matter have been circling in her mind.

Seeing the husband and wife leaving sweetly, at this moment, she just felt that there was a big hole in her heart, and the cold wind was blowing, which made her feel cold to the bone for a while.

how could be?

"Why doesn't he like me?"

Yuwan touched her face, shouldn't men like beautiful women?

She has volunteered to be a concubine, why did he refuse to agree, and still say such harsh and heartless words?

For a moment, Yuwan remembered what Murong Wei said.

"Since you know that he is a man who dotes on his wife, do you think the prince can take a fancy to you?"

At this moment, Yuwan realized that she was really ridiculous from beginning to end, ridiculous to the extreme.

Why did she realize that she was a clown in the eyes of others?
Yuwan only felt her heart was broken, and was crushed by Xiao Mingrui's ruthless words in front of her face, and she didn't even save any face for her.

At this time, a little eunuch had already come over, and said with a blank expression: "Miss, please, your mother is still waiting for you to go back."

At this moment, Murong Wei was dragged by Xiao Mingrui to turn around the Moon Cave Gate and out of Tianxiang Garden. There is a bamboo grove right here, and the bamboo grove is rustling like a spring. At this moment, the bamboo grove is rustling when the wind blows, and it is spring time when the cool breeze blows.

Murong Wei pouted and said, "I'm ashamed to see people."

Xiao Mingrui sighed: "You, don't think too much, that's her problem, what does it have to do with you?"

Murong Wei snorted, and said angrily: "You still talk, I don't know what's wrong with you, why did you recruit so many peach blossoms? It's really annoying."

Xiao Mingrui laughed loudly, hugged her and kissed her: "Honey, are you jealous?"

Murong Wei said angrily, "I'm not jealous."

Xiao Mingrui took her to walk among the bamboo forests: "I really can't control this matter. I can't control other people's preferences. But, if you encounter this kind of thing again, you don't need to be patient. Some people are like this, you don't want to Shatter her illusions, and she will never know what is good or bad."

Murong Wei shrugged: "A little girl's naive thoughts, I won't be angry about it."

She was still angry that the girl didn't know what to do.

I don't know how I got used to it, I seem to think that the world, the earth is going to revolve around her?

It's ridiculous.

It's just that today has already given up that girl's heart. After the aunt takes her back, she must educate her well. It's best to choose someone for her directly, so as not to let her think wildly.

The best way to deal with this kind of little sister with wrong three views is not to separate from her.

It is impossible to convince her to understand herself.

Only by hitting her thoroughly with the facts will she understand how ridiculous her behavior is.

"That's good."

Murong Wei looked him up and down, looked back and forth, and said with a scrutinizing gaze: "Well, it's really a bit of a capital to attract my little sister."

Xiao Mingrui was so teased by her that he couldn't laugh or cry, "This king is so handsome, so he has capital. Otherwise, how did Wei'er fall in love with me?"

Murong Wei blushed and beat him angrily: "I really regret it, why did I fall in love with you."

The two couples laughed and quarreled for a while, before Murong Wei sighed softly: "There are people talking outside, saying I'm jealous?"

Of course Xiao Mingrui has heard some such rumors, but after all, few outsiders know about the affairs of the palace.

Who is he happy to live with is Xiao Mingrui's business, so what does it matter to others?

"Let's go with what they say, it's a mediocrity not to attract envy. Even if you hide in the deep mountains and old forests, it's inevitable that cruel officials will come to your door. Bandits are rampant. How can there be a paradise?"

Murong Wei nodded, and thoughtfully said: "Doesn't your husband want to take a concubine?"

Knowing that what she said was duplicity, how could Xiao Mingrui not understand her thoughts, he just stopped by the side with his arms around her: "I am not a person who does not discriminate between good and evil. Some people's attention to me looks like love, but in fact it is nothing more than It's about power and status. For example, Xie Mingyan, she came here to know some so-called truth and my future status. It's not me that she loves, don't I even understand this?"

Murong Wei squinted at him, thinking, this guy is kind after all, and didn't mention her cousin, that fool, so as not to embarrass her.

Now that he has said that, what else can she say as a wife?
Xiao Mingrui has always been a sober person.

"Husband..." She smiled sweetly, embraced him and said softly, "Did he ever say he loves you so much?"

Xiao Mingrui saw her smiling and her eyes sparkling, and when she heard her say that again, he immediately felt at ease, and said with a smile: "It's better to say a few more words. As a husband, I can't hear enough."

Only half a month later, the imperial army set off.

King Qi and King Wei went to Guangxi together. There, what awaited them was either a speechless ending, or a beauty that made people go to the next level.

No one knows what will happen then.

On the day before leaving, the imperial court sent off civil and military officials, watching the big ship going south, Xiao Mingrui stood at the gate of the city, watching silently.

Xiao Mingchen has been preoccupied with writing self-criticism these days, and now he has an errand, and now he is looking for a place to play and relax.

"Second brother, let's go back."

"Didn't Father ask you to go to the Ministry of War to observe politics? Don't be idle all the time."

Xiao Mingchen quickly cried out: "Second brother, it's not that I don't want to, it's that the people in the Ministry of War don't talk to me. Everyone thinks I'm air."

Xiao Mingrui frowned, pulled him back to the city on horseback, and said, "Since that's the case, then you can figure it out. They will be polite to you, but it's not so easy to gather people from the Ministry of War."

Xiao Mingchen responded, and said with high fighting spirit: "I plan to rest for a few days, then raise my spirits and fight them hard, so that they will also know how powerful I am."

At this moment, a black lacquered flat-topped carriage passed by the roadside, followed by several servants in green clothes and black hats, and the little maid who followed the carriage was also very pretty.

Xiao Mingchen stared at the little maid in a blink of an eye, the carriage passed by him in a blink of an eye, Xiao Mingrui suddenly took out a white jade folding fan to cover his face.

"..." Xiao Mingrui raised his eyebrows and looked at the carriage. Seeing the ostentatious sign of the carriage, he guessed it was the carriage of Xun Qi's family in the city, but it was a good looking carriage. How did his fifth younger brother show such virtue?

"Cough cough." Xiao Mingchen looked up and saw his brother's curious eyes, his face flushed, and he said to him from left to right: "Hey, second brother, don't you have to go back to work? There are many things to do now, but there is no delay. Brother Go play with friends first."

Xiao Mingrui laughed and said, "Why are you nervous, so what if that person sits inside?"

"Second brother, I didn't understand what you meant, I'm leaving."

This kid was as slippery as something, and it didn't take a blink of an eye, so he turned around and left on his horse.

Behind him, the attendants of Prince Qin's Mansion also hurriedly followed.

"This kid!" He cursed with a smile, thinking in his heart, it seems that it's time to get married soon.

It's better to get married next year, lest this kid do any weird things again.

Fortunately, within two days, Xiao Mingchen seemed to have had enough fun, and after resting, he swaggered to the Ministry of War to observe politics.

Because Emperor Jianwu felt that he was quite talented here, so he wanted to focus on cultivating this son's ability in this area.

In any case, after his death, his sons will eventually inherit the country.

And if Xiao Mingrui came to the throne, then it would be best to ask his brother Xiao Mingchen to help him.

Therefore, the two brothers knew each other well.

This day is Xiao Mingrui's birthday, because it is during the filial piety period, it is inconvenient to make a big deal, so the whole family has a light meal and it is over.

It was getting late, Xiao Mingrui saw off his relatives and friends, drank a few glasses of water and wine with the counselors, and then went back to rest with a third of drunkenness.

It just so happens that this day is April [-]th, the weather has gradually become hotter, but this evening is extremely pleasant.

Passing by the bluestone path among the rockery, the grass and moss between the stone slabs on the path seem to represent the trend of the years. This used to be a quite famous garden, which was rebuilt by Xiao Mingrui to the palace. The scenery is naturally excellent.

At this moment, the moon is bright and the stars are sinking, and there are dark fragrances and sleeves among the flowers and trees. It is indeed a beautiful scene on a good day, and this scene is also refreshing.

Xiao Mingrui wore a blue Taoist robe and soft shoes woven with cattail grass, walking among them, with his hands behind his back, was indeed very enjoyable.

Arriving in Tianxiang Garden, she bumped into Nianhong head-on, she hurriedly bowed down to salute: "My servant greets the prince."

Nianhong is very honest now, since she was subdued by Murong Wei, she dare not have any more thoughts.

Xiao Mingrui was in a good mood and asked, "Where is the princess?"

"If you go back to the prince, the princess is in the room at the moment."

There is a smile on Nianhong's expression, and that smile always has a bit of a weird meaning: "You will know when you go in."

Xiao Mingrui was a little surprised, wondering what his little wife was doing?
It's really weird today, what does this little girl want to play?

Made it so mysterious.

When he stepped into the room, there was no one in the main room. He turned eight gold and stone hollow fans and entered from the side room. The bedroom inside was divided into small areas by screens, fans, and bonsai, making the whole bedroom not appear empty. And full of quiet and elegant.

He was used to seeing these things, but now he bypassed the room's low-hanging floor-to-ceiling cover, and the bead curtains were hanging low, blocking the inner room.

Under the dim light, one can smell the faint fragrance of pear blossoms burning in the smoke cage of the golden toad carving indoors, and the evening fragrance fills the sleeves, which is really intoxicating.

Behind the bead curtain, there is a slim and graceful woman standing right behind her, wearing a silver-red cloak embroidered with peach blossoms, her black hair tied up in a lazy bun, and a cicada's wing of a shideng branch inserted obliquely, her bright eyes and bright teeth , Fanghua Haoze, eyebrows are green hills gathered horizontally, eyes are clear water and condensed waves, red lips are sweet, what a stunning beauty, half of the face is covered with a thin silk handkerchief, looming.

Xiao Mingrui was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Wei'er, what are you going to do?"

Murong Wei smiled and said, "Husband, don't talk."

Seeing her serious look, Xiao Mingrui didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in the gourd, but since he saw what she said, he waited patiently and sat down beside her.

Murong Wei stepped forward, stretched out her hand to hang the bead curtain on the golden hook on one side, then came over with a pipa in her arms, sat down on the armchair next to her, and opened her posture, it looked like she was about to play the pipa.

Murong Wei doesn't know much about the pipa, but musical instruments are always interlinked. She can play the qin and practice the pipa, but it's not too difficult.

This is what I learned after I came to this world.

Although he doesn't know many pieces, he can play them decently.

After changing the tune, she turned her eyes and plucked the strings two or three times, still holding the pipa and half covering her face.

At this moment, the lights were dimmed, and the misty brick-red halo sprinkled on her body, revealing a calm and mysterious color, making Xiao Mingrui's vision a little hazy for a while.

As the song started, the voice echoed melodiously. She lowered her eyebrows and continued to play, and occasionally raised her head, her eyes wandered, fascinated.

What she played was a tune that she had heard in modern times.

The lyrics have been changed briefly, but it is still not the style at this time.

Best scene of my life.

Just to meet you.

Staring at you quietly in the vast crowd.

Strange and familiar.

Though breathing the breath of the same sky.

But I can't hug you.

If the space-time identity and name are converted.

I wish I could recognize your eyes.

Where will you be in a thousand years?

What kind of scenery around you.

Our story is not beautiful.

But so unforgettable.

If we were brave together at the beginning.

Will it end differently.

Will you also have a thousand words.

buried in silent dreams.

Xiao Mingrui listened intently, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at her.

There was an inexplicable sadness in this song, which made him feel inexplicable.

The reason why Murong Wei chose this song is because it tells the story of traveling through time and space.

The meeting between her and Xiao Mingrui was an adventure, and this matter might become an eternal secret in her heart.

Perhaps, when they were very old, she would tell him before she died.

Maybe not.

If there is another life, will they meet again?

The Buddha said that three lives are lucky, passing by five hundred times is only exchanged for one look back in this life.

If there is an afterlife, she is willing to meet him again.

After traveling through thousands of years, she met him here, knew each other, and fell in love with him. It was such a legend.

Maybe, this is really fate, otherwise, how could they meet?
Xiao Mingrui patted his palms lightly, and she said softly: "My family presents another piece of music to congratulate the lord on his birthday."

Xiao Mingrui smiled slightly, but heard her pluck the strings and sing in a low voice again.

This time it was very different from the song just now.

"Alang went up to the mountain to pick mulberries, and the high mountain was covered with clouds and mists. The clouds and mists were deep and affectionate, and the lotus fields were full of lotus. I asked Mr. Lang about his love, and he told me that the clouds and mists were deep. Feel free to pity..."

Xiao Mingrui's eyes dimmed for a moment, and he stared straight away, watching his beautiful wife holding a pipa and singing around him.

"Alang went up to the mountain to pick mulberries, and the high mountain was covered with clouds and mists. The clouds and mists were deep and affectionate, and the lotus fields were full of lotus. I asked Mr. Lang about his love, and he told me that the clouds and mists were deep. Willful pity... Slave for my lord, willful pity..."

Murong Wei changed the tune, played and sang: "Jade Tower Ice Mat Mandarin Duck Brocade, Fen Rongxiang Sweat Flow Mountain Pillow. The sound of the pulley outside the curtain, eyebrows drawn and smiling surprised. The willow shade is indifferent, and the cicada hairpin falls on the lower temples. It takes a lifetime of hard work, I wish you all the best today..."

Xiao Mingrui couldn't help but stepped forward to grab her, and pulled her into his arms.

"Is the slave's song good?" She smiled sweetly, "Will the prince reward you?"

Xiao Mingrui's voice was hoarse and low, he lifted her chin, and said with a light smile: "What would my husband reward you for? Little lady, why don't you work with me in Fei?"

Murong Wei spat and said angrily: "Oh, my family has fallen into a wolf's den, how can this be good?"

After saying that, he put on a trembling and frightened look, "My lord, please let the servants go!"

Xiao Mingrui raised his eyebrows, his expression could not help being amused, but he pretended to be evil, and said with a joke: "Little lady, don't be afraid, this king will love and pity you well!"

After finishing speaking, he picked her up by the waist and walked straight into the curtain.

The long night is long, and I don't know when the east will be white.

On the second day, Xiao Mingrui had no holiday and had to go to court to work as usual.

Early in the morning, he woke up refreshed, while Murong Wei was too tired to get up.

Lu'er and Xiangtao came into the room to serve, they could feel the breath in the room, they couldn't help but blush.

It's just that this kind of life is already used to it, so they soon became numb.

Xiang Tao was thinking about something absent-mindedly, Lu'er called her to prepare breakfast, and she didn't react until she called several times.

"What's the matter, you've been so absent-minded recently, isn't it Sichun?"

Lu'er teased her funny.

Xiangtao hesitated and said: "You're just thinking about spring, I just lost my mind."

That being said, Lu'er was very skeptical looking at that somewhat guilty gaze.

"You girl... don't you really fancy someone? If so, you can tell the princess earlier, she will help us."

Xiangtao became annoyed, and waved her hand to tickle her: "Bad sister, you are bullying people too, really, you have learned from others..."

Murong Wei slept soundly, how could she wake up, the two maids said a few words outside, and the other maids came to serve her.

Seeing that the princess hadn't gotten up yet, everyone didn't dare to disturb her.

It seems that the prince and the princess seemed to sleep too late yesterday.

Murong Wei didn't get up until the sun was high.

Xiangtao prepared some hot milk for her, Murong Wei drank a cup and ate a bowl of porridge, seeing that it was getting late, she knew that because the palace was very busy, Xiao Mingrui had to stay in the yamen of the Ministry of Rites to work.

Officials of the imperial court have a canteen where they can eat. Of course, as a servant, his lunch will never be bad, but Murong Wei knew from Xiaoluzi that Xiao Mingrui didn't like the lunch in the imperial canteen, so she asked the people in the palace to prepare something to eat. deliver.

"This day..."
