Chapter 15

Tao Yizhi sent a few servants to take the little concubine Xue Jinping back to Fanxing Tower, Murong Li took the bath towel and slowly dried his body.The servants cleaned up the... water stains on the ground for the little princess.

Murong Li put on his clothes slowly, and a voice in his head said, that bastard has a point.Another voice B scolded angrily, what a fart it makes sense, you just can't let go of that woman!The two voices fought back and forth, waiting for Murong Li to make a decision, Murong Li asked Tao Yizhi: "Who was serving in Xijiange two days ago?" I just can't let go of that woman, what's the matter?
Tao Yizhi bowed slightly: "Going back to the lord, Mrs. Xiang, there has always been the nurse Cui, the big girl Bizhu, the personal servant Xiang Wan, Hanlu, and the rough girl..."

Murong Li interrupted him: "Call everyone over here."

Tao Yizhi took what else to say, and hurried to call for someone.

After a while, the girls and servants were all ready, and Murong Li called them into the courtyard one by one for questioning.No one saw when Han Xu entered Xiangxiang's yard, and the wet nurse Cui only said that General Han passed by, but did not enter the garden.

Murong Li asked slowly, and when the little concubine Xue Jinping went to Xijiange, everyone came back with her after sweeping the snow, and they all matched.When Han Xu entered the mansion, his servants received him.It was only because he was really familiar with the prince that he didn't send anyone to follow him.But when he entered the mansion, the servants still remember the time.Everyone still remembers when Xue Yinping went to Xijiange.

Murong Li is not stupid, the first thing Han Xu did when he came back to Jinyang City was of course to see him, and he turned to Xijiange on the way, this fellow was really to blame, he snorted coldly.But when he entered Xiangxiang's room, Xiangxiang was flustered only because Xue Jinping was there. After Xue Jinping left, she was more relaxed.According to her mouse courage, if she really knew that Han Xu was in the room, she would have been paralyzed from fright.Furthermore, when she turned to the back of the screen, she didn't respond at all, which also showed that she didn't know.Otherwise, with Xue Jinping's temperament, wouldn't it be easy for Xiangxiang to dismiss her and let Han Xu go?
The confessions of the servants were basically correct. Back in the yard, what Mrs. Xiang said to the little princess, what dishes Mrs. Xiang cooked, and when they fed the little princess were all clear.And after calming down, he found that he didn't kill Han Xu, fundamentally, because he firmly believed that Han Xu would not touch his things.

Murong Li came out of the room, ready to go to Xijiange.After walking two steps, I stopped again. Feeling cold, I went back to change clothes.

Tao Yizhi waited outside, trembling with fear - when in this life have I seen my prince so hesitant?Now Diandian ran to find Guan Jue.Guan Jue was able to walk around, but Tao Yizhi was relieved to handle daily affairs, so he let him do the work. Now that he knew about it, he said, "You go to Xijiange and ask Mrs. Xiang to listen to Fengyuan's service. Say nothing else."

Tao Yizhi was still a little frightened: "But didn't the lord not allow Mrs. Xiang to step out of the Xijian Pavilion? If he blames him, we may not be able to bear it."

Guan Jue said: "Go!" Didn't you see that the prince couldn't come down after climbing up?Don't rush to lay the steps, a little wink is gone!Your butt is itchy too?
Tao Yi hurriedly went to Xijiange.

Xiangxiang hadn't fallen asleep yet, but after Xuanxuan entered the palace, she fell asleep even later.Tao Yizhi stood outside and asked Bizhu to come in to invite her, and said that the prince asked Mrs. Xiang to go and listen to Fengyuan's service.

When Bizhu heard this, she was so happy that she went to find Xiangxiang in a hurry.After Xiangxiang heard this, she didn't have much joy on her face, but she quickly cooperated with Bizhu to dress up. While helping her change, Bizhu said: "Madam must go to see the prince in a beautiful way. There is love in the first place, as soon as you see Madam, you will immediately calm down."

Xiangxiang didn't speak, she could only go there dressed up beautifully, she wanted to return her daughter.Bizhu changed her into a lotus-leaf skirt and a cloak woven of white crane feathers and other feathers. She also combed the fallen horse's hair for her, inserted gold tines backwards, and drew a treasure tree horizontally.Outside Tao Yizhi kept urging, Xiangxiang asked: "Why did the prince suddenly want to see me?"

Tao Yi led the way, and said softly: "My concubine secretly went to Tingfengyuan and had an argument with the prince. The prince was very angry, but after a while, he sent all the servants who served in the madam's courtyard to Take it over for questioning. Ma'am, it seems that the prince has lost his temper."

Xiangxiang hummed and asked, "Is the princess all right?"

Tao Yizhi saw that there was not much joy on her face, so he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and said: "It's okay, she speaks like a child, the prince can still have common sense?" Then he softly persuaded: "Madam, it's hard for the prince to relax. Don't get angry with him."

Xiangxiang said: "I know." I know that my arms can't twist my thighs.What Jinping said before leaving was actually intended to help me. I also know how determined that little child was.

Hearing that the lamp was still lighted in Fengyuan, Murong Li had already changed his clothes, Tao Yizhi said softly: "My lord, Mrs. Xiang is here." Still afraid that Murong Li would blame her, she hurriedly said: "Since my lord has already interrogated all the servants I guess I should listen to what Madam has to say."

When Murong Li heard it, it was a good excuse.He said, "Come in."

Tao Yizhi gestured to Xiangxiang, and Xiangxiang walked in slowly.Murong Li didn't think how beautiful her dress was, when he looked at people, he usually noticed who was coming.Xiangxiang knelt down and said, "See the prince."

Murong Li said: "Get up."

Xiangxiang got up, Murong Li stretched out his hand and said, "Come here."

Xiangxiang walked over and put her hand in his palm. She didn't need to say anything flattering, and Murong Li didn't. He just wanted her to obey, as long as she obeyed.

Murong Li wanted to say something, but after thinking about it for a while, there was nothing to say—you can't say sorry, can you?Humph, it's disgusting to think about it.Besides, what's wrong with me?In that kind of situation, even a man would be furious!Damn it, it's Han Xu, that bastard!I am right!

So he said, "Sleep."

Xiangxiang slowly took off her cloak and took off all the gold tinsel headgear.Murong Li embraced her, sleeping on the same couch as expected, he didn't touch her, he just hugged her like that, and then thought - although I haven't passed these few days, isn't I still feeding with good food and drink?It’s fine if you don’t gain weight, you’re still so skinny...

Xiangxiang asked softly: "If the prince doesn't blame you, I think..."

Murong Li actually knew what she wanted to say, so he murmured: "I'll talk about it tomorrow." It's late at night, so I can't take you to the palace to pick up my daughter.

Hearing that he agreed, Xiangxiang felt relieved and closed her eyes, but she didn't feel sleepy anyway, she just lay down like this.

When it was dawn, Murong Li really meant what he said and brought her into the palace.

Concubine Shu hugged Xiao Xuanxuan and changed places. The child was not used to it and cried a lot at night. She was afraid that crying would ruin the child, so she stayed by her side to take care of her.After a few days, her own eye circles were blue.

The court lady Suru looked distressed: "Your Majesty, let the nurse take it? If it's really not possible, it's better to go to Prince Xun's mansion and take the child's original nurse into the palace to take care of it."

Concubine Shu nodded: "Go to Prince Xun's Mansion and ask which wet nurse used to take care of the child. If this continues, the child will cry to death." She is not bad in fact, she has been taking care of Murong Li since he was four years old. .She is the kind that if King Yan rewards her with two horses of good material, she will make clothes for Murong Bo and Murong Li alone; if there is only one horse of good material, she will make clothes for Murong Bo, and give the second best to Murong Li again. make a body.If two children fall into the water, she can pull one with each hand, and she will catch the two children even if she dies.But if she can only catch one, she can't give up her own son to catch her adopted son.No one can say that such a person is a bad person.

At the beginning, Murong Li was ambivalent and couldn't get along with Murong Bo.She calculated Xiangxiang and the position of King Xun's side concubine, but she just hoped that Murong Li could stand by Murong Bo's side and distance himself from the crown prince and queen.Now knowing that the two brothers are in the same camp and with one heart, they are naturally relieved.

When Murong Li brought Xuanxuan over, Guan Jue was injured and did not bring the wet nurse over.The child is only more than eight months old, and she has exhausted her mind to coax her day and night these days.Murong Li put the child here because he was actually at ease.He was by Concubine Shu's side for eight years, almost spending the most immature time in his life. He knew this woman's mind and character very well.This is also... one of the few people he can trust, right?You can't disregard her kindness to you just because she likes her own son more, and give birth to hatred, right?

He would still remember that during times of war, Concubine Shu would always kneel in the small Buddhist hall for several days, copying scriptures one after another, hoping that he was safe and sound.He will still remember that one young year, after his triumphant return, he came to the small Buddhist hall of Zhangwen Hall and heard Concubine Shu praying to the Buddha outside the door, saying: "Bodhisattva has a spirit, please bless my Bo'er to inherit the Great Buddha." Commander, bless my Li’er to return safely.” After thinking for a while, he said, “If the Bodhisattva is too busy and can only hear one wish, let’s first bless Li’er to return safely. Bo’er is still young, and in a few years does not matter."

That was his adoptive mother.

When Murong Li came to Zhangwen Hall, Concubine Shu was very happy, she asked the palace servants to deliver fruit tea, and at the same time asked someone to bring over two hand stoves, the wind and snow were howling outside, I'm afraid he would be frozen.Murong Li and Xiangxiang bowed to her, but she kindly helped Xiangxiang up.Of course she felt sorry for Xiangxiang's mother and daughter, but as a woman born in the palace, if she wanted her to treat everyone purely and kindly, she had long been unable to do so.

Xiangxiang had already seen Xuanxuan in her arms, Concubine Shu smiled and handed the child to her.Strange to say, Xiao Xuanxuan got into Xiangxiang's arms, and slowly sobbed and arched her, her small hands grabbed the skirt of her chest, and whimpered a few more times in aggrieved manner, but the crying stopped slowly .She was not a crying child in the first place.

Xiangxiang's eye circles were red, and she patted her on the back. She recognized her birth, and now she recognizes the wet nurse Cui Shi and Xiangxiang.

The child stopped crying, and Concubine Shu also breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "That's right. How can such a small child live without his biological mother by his side?"

Seeing that her eye circles were green, Xiangxiang felt sorry, and bowed again: "I'm going to be tired these days."

Concubine Shu helped her up, and smiled: "What are you talking about, my own granddaughter can't get enough of it." She ordered the palace staff to take out all the little clothes made for Xuanxuan these days, knowing that Murong Li said I have the temperament of going away, and I have prepared a warm baby basket, just in case the child will be frozen when I go out.

As expected, Murong Li came to pick up the child, with a clear purpose, seeing Xiangxiang holding the child in his arms, he said, "I will take my leave."

Concubine Shu knew she couldn't keep them, so she sent them all the way to the gate of Zhangwen Hall, sighed, and said, "Your concubine, why didn't you bring your concubine mother to have a look?"

It's okay not to mention this, but when Xue Jinping was mentioned, Murong Li's face turned blue, Concubine Shu looked at it and wondered to herself, could it be that he is not agreeable again?But he didn't ask again, Murong Li bowed to her politely, and left the palace with Xiangxiang.

Xiangxiang felt much better when the child was received by her side.In the carriage, Murong Li looked at the goat's milk she had prepared when she took it out, warmed it up on the stove, and fed it to Xuanxuan, it was so tender and delicate.He stretched out his hand and gently touched Xuanxuan's small hand. The five short and thin fingers suddenly held his fingers. He was slightly startled, but he didn't pull it back.

Back at the palace, Xiangxiang carried the child back to Xijian Pavilion, Murong Li went to Taiwei's Mansion, Xue Jinping heard that Xiao Xuanxuan was back, and quietly ran to Xijian Pavilion.Xiangxiang was very happy to see her coming, so she handed Xiao Xuanxuan over, and went to the kitchen in a sensible way.

Xue Jinping was honest and blunt: "Sister Xiangxiang, I want to drink lotus root flour porridge!"

Xiangxiang was picking up ingredients, and said, "Okay, I'll make egg yolk dumplings for you today, haven't you been talking about it for a few days? I asked Mr. Guan to prepare the reed leaves."

Xue Jinping was overjoyed, so he quickly handed Xiao Xuanxuan to the wet nurse Cui Shi to hold her: "My sister and I will wrap it together."

Xiangxiang said angrily, "Wash your hands."

The two happily made zongzi. The meat pieces were marinated by Bizhu long ago, and the salted egg yolks were also steamed.The glutinous rice is almost soaked.Xiangxiang taught Xue Jinping to make zongzi with Ruoye.

By noon, Murong Li hadn't returned home.Bizhu said: "Today, there is a martial arts competition in the palace. The King of Yan asked our prince to take the exam. I'm afraid the prince won't be able to come back at noon. Do you want my wife to send some zongzi to the prince?"

In the past, Xiangxiang always cooked food specially for Murong Li. Xiangxiang picked up some for Xue Jinping first, and then said: "You pick it up and send it to the prince."

Only then did Bizhu agree, she was afraid that Xiangxiang might have some grudges against Murong Li, so she finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what she said.

Bi Zhu didn't enter the palace, so the servants in the entrusted room handed over the food box to Murong Li, not afraid that they would not do their best - no one in the palace would offend Murong Li.Murong Li was eating with Murong Bo, Zhou Yi and others, when the palace servants outside brought the food box over.

Murong Li opened it, and saw that it was a rice dumpling just out of the pot.Murong Bo laughed first: "You two are really fighting at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed."

Zhou Ye didn't dare to make jokes, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.Murong Bo said: "If you really like it, help a side concubine." It doesn't matter what you did to her last time, but you took her child away without saying a word, don't you think it will frighten her?
Murong Li said, "En."

Murong Bo was a little surprised, he didn't answer with a snort full of disdain, but just said yes.

Murong Bo said softly: "Old Wu, women are different from subordinates. Subordinates can stick a hundred sticks to hundreds of hundreds, and the scars will forget the pain when he heals." When he said this, Zhou Ye secretly thought, who said that? , if you want to stick my son a hundred hundred, I will draw a circle and curse you!Murong Bo continued, "This woman, if you slap her, you'll have to coax her."

Murong Li snorted coldly, wondering if I hit her?This bastard, if she didn't protect Han Xu's damn thing, would I hit a woman?What's more, I just kicked it lightly, who knew she would vomit blood?What am I doing wrong?Besides, how coaxing... I feel like vomiting just thinking about it!Disgusting!

Murong Li didn't like to listen, so Murong Bo didn't speak anymore, just sighed.If I had known that he would lose his temper so easily, I really shouldn't have relieved Xiangxiang.Murong Li ate the zongzi, um, it tasted very good.He really didn't think his woman needed coaxing.I let her out, so she doesn't understand?
Besides, I didn't abuse her. Should I let her eat or drink less?I don't believe that the people under Guan Jue and Tao Yizhi dare to bully her.Damn it, she is still Lao Tzu's woman when she is locked in the yard, and if I don't want her, it is also my own. Who would dare to give her a supercilious look?The child is also raised by his mother and concubine, why is she wronged?
He raises women and children, that is the most literal meaning, to take over women and children, to eat well, to dress well, to live well, to have servants in groups, and not to be bullied by evil servants, isn’t that just raising them well? ?That woman, even when he was furious, he didn't say no to her, so what's there to coax?

In the evening, when he returned to the palace, Guan Jue knew that the little princess was cleaning the Jiange, so in order to keep Zhao Wu's dog legs, he sent someone to notify him.Xue Jinping, like a mouse seeing a cat, flinched and ran back to Fanxing Building.Xiangxiang couldn't laugh or cry, and asked Bi Zhu to bring some egg yolk meat dumplings over. She likes to eat this, and she ate a lot today.

Sure enough, Murong Li entered Xijian Pavilion, and saw that Xiao Xuanxuan was already learning to walk.Cui asked a craftsman to make a small chair for toddlers based on the armchairs of the children in the village. She pushed it slowly so as not to fall.Xiangxiang and Cui Shi each stood aside, leading her to walk a few steps.He didn't dare to let her go too long, so he picked her up and played with her after a while.

Murong Li was standing at the door, and when Xiao Xuanxuan saw him, she turned around and opened her hands towards Xiangxiang, and said vaguely with a wow, "Liang..."

Damn, Murong Li is depressed!It was the first time in her life that her daughter called her mother, but she was actually scared by him!He really wanted to touch his face, why does Lao Tzu look so scary?Xiangxiang rushed up to carry the baby, but Murong Li moved faster than her, hugged Xuanxuan up, approached her and glared at her: I am your father, why cry!Xiao Xuanxuan cried even harder, Xiangxiang stretched out her hands, forcibly picked up the child, and turned her head to Cui Shi.Then he said: "Is the prince tired? I'll make dinner for the prince."

Murong Li was not happy: "This king's own daughter, can't you take a look at it?"

He turned his head and signaled Cui Shi to pass the child over, but Cui Shi didn't dare to disobey him, so he had to hesitate to pass the child over.Xuanxuan waved her little arms and legs, just crying, and opened her hands to Xiangxiang while crying.Xiangxiang's heart ached so much, Murong Li carried Xiao Xuanxuan to the edge of the Sword Washing Pool, raised her arms, and said, "Cry again, I'll throw you down!"

Xiangxiang's face turned pale with fright, and she was about to rush forward.Mrs. Cui grabbed her, shook her head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Ma'am, the lord is just joking, we can't let the lord of the princess keep not kissing the lord!"

Xiao Xuanxuan was crying a lot at first, but now she was held up high by him, thinking it was a bit amusing, her crying gradually became quieter.He was already tall, and when he lifted it up, he felt that the whole courtyard was below. Xiao Xuanxuan looked around, Murong Li held her up and turned around, and asked, "Are you still crying?"

Xiao Xuanxuan waved her little hand, drooling from the corner of her mouth, and actually smiled.Murong Li thought, Hey, you little bastard, you like this, it's easy to handle!Dad will take you to ride a horse!It was the first time he got his daughter's smiling face, and he couldn't tell what kind of emotion he was in. He just felt that this request was easy to satisfy.

He was in the yard, throwing and catching his daughter like a rubber ball. Little Xuanxuan just giggled and laughed with a pair of strange eyes.After playing for a while, Cui quickly stepped forward and said, "My lord, the little princess is still young. In such a cold day, if I laugh a lot, I'm afraid I'll get sick easily. I'd better take it down with me first."

Murong Li nodded, and turned to see Xiangxiang standing at the door, with a warm glow on his face like the winter sun.Never before had he felt this woman so close to him.It was different from the lingering lingering on the couch, the tight hugs in the dark, and the deep kisses. It was a reality in which she stood in front of him with real emotions, without barriers.Hey, it turns out that if I play with my child, she will be very happy?he thinks.

Murong Li actually didn't think about helping her to be a side concubine or something, he just thought it was Lao Tzu's anyway, what's the difference?The side concubine is more than ten taels of silver every month.She lacks these ten taels?I don't have any money to ask Guan Jue for it.But when Murong Bo mentioned it, he felt, um, it's okay to be a side concubine.But Zongzheng's gang of old guys are the most stubborn. A woman from Xiangxiang's background is going to be a prince's side concubine. I'm afraid they will blow up the pot again.Murong Li was not afraid of their fried pots, and he didn't even mind helping them fry their nests when necessary.It's just that I don't want to listen to their ramblings. If Xiangxiang gave him another little prince, those guys would be able to talk less.He doesn't think there is any difference between a son and a daughter, a concubine, and a concubine.They are all Lao Tzu's children, what's the difference?

Xiangxiang went into the kitchen to cook for him, and Murong Li followed.Xiangxiang was slightly stunned, and said in a low voice: "My lord, go and do your work first, and I will ask Bizhu to invite you later."

Murong Li didn't leave, but went into the kitchen and hugged her from behind.Xiangxiang stopped chopping vegetables, lowered her eyes, and said, "I... go back to my room to serve the prince?"

Murong Li shook his head and said: "Help me give birth to a son." To avoid Zongzheng and those old guys rambling on.

Xiangxiang lowered her head and said, "Jin Ping... the concubine will grow up in a few years. In the future, the prince will definitely have many..."

Murong became impatient: "Shut up! Let you have a baby, why are there so many words!"

Xiangxiang stopped talking, but I want a daughter more, Jinping is a good girl, and her son will be the son of Prince Xun in the future. If I only have a daughter, I will marry a husband who loves her in the future, so I don’t have to fight against anything .She didn't say these words, and those who hugged her behind her would not understand.

She said: "If the prince doesn't need me to serve you now, please let me go. I can't chop vegetables."

Murong refused to let go, so Xiangxiang had no choice but to chop vegetables in this posture, and accidentally cut into her hand!

Murong Li was simply eye-opened, he could cut with a kitchen knife!

Xiangxiang hissed, frowned slightly, and blood came out from her pure, white and tender fingertips, Murong Li was so angry that he shouted, "You can cut it with your hands, you are blind!"

Damn, if you were a subordinate of Laozi's army, Laozi would have crossed you out to sacrifice the flag long ago!Can you have a snack!

Before Xiangxiang could speak, he had already called for someone to come over with medicine to stop the bleeding.In fact, Xiangxiang didn't think it was that serious, and Murong Li didn't take this small injury seriously, but it was very dazzling to have a small piece of flesh cut off from such a green and tender finger.

The servants hurried up to help Xiangxiang bandage, Xiangxiang frowned, and saw Murong Li took a kitchen knife, and cut the potatoes into fine shreds, with neat thickness and perfect knife skills.He looked at it and wondered, damn it, it turns out that martial arts has this purpose!

Another one, after cutting it in twos and twos, asked Xiangxiang again: "What else?"

Xiangxiang was also a little dazed, and said, "Sliced ​​lamb."

Murong Li took the mutton, but he still felt that the kitchen knife was not sharp enough, so with this knife, it wouldn't hurt to cut your hands with your eyes closed!The knife was like a gust of wind, and after a while, a piece of mutton turned into a uniformly thick slice of meat, lying quietly on the chopping board.

When dinner was served, Xiangxiang said, "Call Jin...Wangfei over to have dinner together, okay?"

Murong Li said: "What are you calling her for?" She doesn't know how to eat herself!
Xiangxiang said: "After all, we are a family. Eating together also creates an atmosphere."

Maybe it's a family saying that Murong Li found it pleasing to his ears, and he didn't object.Xiangxiang said to Bizhu: "Go and invite the princess to come over for dinner."

Bizhu agreed, and left the small courtyard to go to Fanxing Building.Xiangxiang put all the dishes on the table, because there were some egg yolk meat dumplings left over from the day, so she only made cumin mutton, hot and sour potato shreds, because she cut it with her hands, even though Murong Li cut the vegetables herself, She didn't dare to work either, so that's it.

Xue Jinping was very happy to see Bizhu come over and ask her to eat.But when she bounced into Xijian Pavilion and saw Murong Li sitting on top with a golden knife, her whole expression was like an eggplant beaten by frost, it was so miserable.

Xiangxiang was setting the chopsticks, and when she saw her coming in, she hurriedly greeted her: "Come and sit, we'll eat right away."

Xue Jinping had a bitter face——sister Xiangxiang, why did you call me, I was planning to sneak away before he saw it!
When Murong Li saw her bitter melon-like expression, he immediately glared - what the hell are you looking like?I want to eat people!

Xue Jinping sat down next to Xiangxiang with drooping eyebrows, as if he wanted to eat her for this meal.Xiangxiang was a little amused, filled the porridge, gave it to Murong Li first, and then handed it to Xue Jinping.

The porridge is ordinary corn porridge, Murong Li took a sip, and Xiangxiang peeled the egg yolk meat dumplings for him.There was no servant to serve her, so Cui went down with Xiao Xuanxuan in her arms, and there were only three people in the dining room.The dishes are not too rich, just ordinary home-cooked dishes.

Murong Li suddenly felt a sense of home, for the first time, he felt that this was his home.How long has it been since you felt this way?Heh, maybe there was once when the biological mother was still alive.He is not a sentimental person, so thinking about it, he buried his head and continued to eat.Xue Jinping carefully lowered his head to drink the porridge, not even daring to pick up the vegetables.Xiangxiang has good intentions—she is a princess after all, and she can't always be like this anyway.When the princess meets the prince, it's like a mouse meeting a cat. How decent is it?

Xue Jinping really lost his appetite at all. He only drank a bowl of porridge and was full without eating anything.Murong Li actually drank two bowls of porridge and ate a few rice dumplings.Xiangxiang brought Xiao Xuanxuan over and fed her.She made a yellow thorn fish paste for her daughter.There is no technique in this, but there should be no thorns when doing it, and you must be very careful.

At this time, Cui was holding Xiao Xuanxuan and feeding her Xiangxiang.Xiao Xuanxuan didn't concentrate on eating, so Murong Li casually took her from Cui's hand, let her sit on his lap, and Xiangxiang squatted down to feed her.Xue Jinping next to him quietly signaled to Xiangxiang—I'm leaving!

Xiangxiang couldn't laugh or cry, so she nodded. She wanted to leave, but she glanced at the meat dumplings on the table reluctantly.Xiangxiang was speechless, and after feeding Xuanxuan, while Murong Li was playing with the children, she asked Bizhu to make a bowl of milk soup, and sent it to Fanxinglou to Xue Jinping along with the meat dumplings.

Murong Li hugged the soft and sticky little Xuanxuan, and when he found that little Xuanxuan was giggling at him, a strange sense of pride surged into his heart—hey, look, Lao Tzu's daughter!
The servants put away all the bowls and chopsticks, and Xiangxiang wiped Xuanxuan's mouth with a soft silk handkerchief.Xuanxuan struggled to stand on Murong Li's lap, raised her head and gnawed wildly on his chin.Murong Li just felt his face drooling!All of a sudden, the previous sense of pride was gone - damn it, it's disgusting!This feeling of being stupefied!He was about to get angry when he saw Xiangxiang laughing next to her, trembling.He thought again, forget it, just eat the little things if you like, anyway, I will not lose a piece of meat.Even if there is a small piece of meat, the elders should be like a rock, made of copper and iron, and give their daughter a bite, so what's the big deal!
The wind in early spring blows away the cold plums, melts the wind and snow, and arouses a little green shoots on the branches and wilderness.Han Xu was beating his grandmother's shoulders, and the woman over [-] years old was saying trivially: "You are not too old, when will your grandpa and I have a great-grandson? With so many girls, you either pick this one or dislike it. Then, what exactly do you want!"

Han Xu's grandfather was relatively calm, smoking a pipe beside him.In the past, the Han family could be described in four words as a family with bare walls. If I had to sum it up, it could be summed up in one word - poor.Both he and his wife were honest and responsible people, and they were always bullied by local hooligans until his grandson became a local hooligan too.

Today's Han family is no longer what it used to be.Needless to say, the large courtyards that have been entered several times, there are about a hundred servants and maids.In a place like Jinyang City where there are so many dignitaries and dignitaries, when Mr. Han goes out, there are too many people nodding and bowing.The old couple naturally felt honored, but the son died early, and the grandson was away all year round. After all, fighting is blind.Now that Han Xu is such an old age, if he doesn't marry a wife, it is inevitable that the couple will be impatient.

Han Xu didn't argue with them, until finally Mr. Han asked calmly: "My dear grandson, did you have some kind of addiction in the army?"

Han Xucai finally couldn't bear it anymore and went out to find a place to drink.People didn't go far when they met Zhou Zhuo.Zhou Zhuo came here on purpose, so he was not surprised. He stared into his eyes and asked, "Are you going to be idle for the rest of your life?"

Han Xu didn't speak, Zhou Zhuo said, "I asked Guan Jue, and he said that you hid in Mrs. Xiang's room at midnight. Is it true?"

Han Xu lowered his head, and Zhou Zhuo walked over with a slap in the face.Han Xu didn't hide, a line of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.Zhou Zhuo said, "That's our sister-in-law!"

Han Xu finally said, "I know."

Zhou Zhuo almost poked his nose with his finger: "I know you are still obsessed with ghosts!" He raised his hand and slapped him again, "Are you awake now?"

He did not attack lightly, and Han Xu had a few red marks on his face, and a passerby stopped to look at him, Zhou Zhuo scolded angrily: "What are you looking at! I have never seen anyone being beaten! Do you want me to beat you up for you to try?" Have a taste?" Thinking about the young master of Zhou Taiwei's family back then, he was also a tyrant in Jinyang City, if he hadn't been beaten up by Murong Li, he really wouldn't have weakened his prestige.The passer-by shrank his neck and ran away quickly.

Zhou Zhuo said, "Let's go!"

Han Xu followed him, and the two went to the restaurant and found a private room.The shopkeeper didn't need to say much, so he ordered the best wine.

Zhou Zhuo waited for the second child to go out before he said, "What are your plans?"

Han Xu said: "After the new year, open a martial arts gym or something, or start a small business."

Zhou Zhuo was silent, and a little sadness gradually appeared in his eyes.Now there are two factions in the army, Murong Li is powerful, and the queen's relatives also have a small part of the military power.It is well known that Han Xu is Murong Li's confidant.

Now that Murong Li dismissed him, he was asking the imperial court to send another messenger.He has made a lot of military achievements, of course Bing Cao would not directly tell him that he would no longer use it, so he could only politely say that he would wait for a suitable position.But Murong Li doesn't use him, the Crown Prince dare not use him, so where is his place in the court?
Zhou Zhuo really wanted to punch him a few more times, but his eyes slowly turned red.He said, "Can't you just apologize to him? Han Xu, we are brothers!"

Han Xu grabbed the wine jar, slapped open the mud seal, and took a sip directly. The strong wine had a compelling pungent taste, which made people want to cry.Brother, brother who covets sister-in-law.The palace is so big, if I didn't have the intention, how could I pass Xijian Pavilion?He has already given the chance, how can I apologize?

Zhou Zhuo said: "Han Xu, is she really more important than our brotherhood for so many years? Is it true that all these years of hunting with eagles, drinking and singing, and going through life and death are no more important than a woman?"

Han Xu lowered his head, and Zhou Zhuo supported his shoulder: "That woman...can you say a few words for you?"

Han Xu was startled, and suddenly raised his head: "No, you can't go to her because of me again!"

Zhou Zhuo said: "After that incident, within two days, the prince forgave her. This shows that this woman has some weight to him, if..."

Han Xu said, "No!" with a firm tone.

Zhou Zhuoke caught his weakness, and immediately said: "If you don't want to do anything, I'll go and tell that woman. With such a heart, she will definitely talk to the prince."

Han Xu suddenly grabbed his lapel: "Zhou Zhuo!"

Zhou Zhuo kicked him away and scolded angrily: "I am now the son of Taiwei Zhou Yi, you are a fucking military officer and dare to be rude to me?" s things!"

Han Xu didn't fight back, and said for a long time: "Promise me, don't go to her." Almost begging.

Zhou Zhuo sighed, what kind of thing is love?Can people forget honor and disgrace, lighten life and death?

Ran Yunzhou made a special trip back to Jinyang City and invited Murong Li, Zhou Zhuo, and Murong Bo to have a drink at Bei Mo Ting Restaurant.Guan Jue and Zhao Wu were also among the drinkers.Although Ran Yunzhou does not serve in the court, Murong Bo still appreciates him because he has many soldiers and horses under his command.

Of course Murong Li also arrived, but just as he entered the private room, Han Xu was there.Han Xu was determined this time, with his upper body bare and thorns on his back, when he saw him, he knelt down in front of him without saying a word.

Murong said angrily: "Who made this thing appear in front of me? Ran Yunzhou, you've had enough of your happy life, haven't you?"

Before Ran Yunzhou could speak, he had already continued: "If you think he is your brother, you should leave as soon as possible! Don't appear in front of Lao Tzu!" After saying that, he turned around and walked away!

Several people had expected that he would get angry, but it turned out that there was really no room for discussion, and they couldn't help but looked at each other.

When Murong Li returned to the palace, Guan Jue and Zhao Wu followed closely behind him. It was too late for him to come back at this time, and he was 100% regarded as a traitor.

Zhou Zhuo also came over soon, Ran Yunzhou came later, after all, Murong Bo was also there, he is the master, so he must send King Kang away first, right?At this time, everyone gathered outside the study room, Murong Li had no intention of inviting them in at all, and several people were drinking the wind together outside.

Xiangxiang heard what Bizhu said, thought about it, and made a bowl of fruit milk soup and brought it over.Guan Jue saw her first, and winked, the meaning was very clear - the prince is angry, you should hide.

Xiangxiang didn't hide, and asked when passing by, "Because of Han Xu?" Besides Han Xu, what else could make him lose his temper like this!
Guan Jue nodded with a wry smile, and then looked at Xiangxiang. Her complexion darkened slightly, and she immediately returned to normal.

She took the milk soup and was about to go in, but Zhao Wu still felt that this was not good, and said softly: "Madam, we are the ones who angered the prince, you should go back first." up.

Xiangxiang smiled kindly at him. After all, Han Xu's matter was also related to her.She pursed her lips slightly. Even Xue Jinping could do such a bold thing for her, but she still had to stand by and watch him and Han Xu quarrel?
She opened the door and went in, and Murong Li threw a paperweight at him: "Get out!" The servants in the mansion are getting more and more shameless, I didn't let me in, who would dare to come in?
The bronze paperweight hit her head-on, Xiangxiang was taken aback, if Zhao Wu behind her hadn't been quick-eyed and pressed her head down, I'm afraid that her head would be bleeding all of a sudden!
Murong Li was also startled, and immediately glared again: "What are you doing here?" Pleading for your adulterer?Bitch!Damn, almost hit her!

Xiangxiang was also taken aback by the paperweight, but her reaction to the anger in his eyes faded a lot. She bent down to pick up the paperweight, slowly brought the milk soup over and put it on the table.

Murong Li stared at her, and she said softly, "My lord still suspects that I have an affair with General Han, right?"

Murong Li was taken aback, then furious—it really came because of this bastard!He sneered: "You'd better think about every word before you speak."

Xiangxiang knelt down at his feet, and said softly: "I am a humble man, life, death, honor and disgrace can only be left to the lord. The lord suspects that I am not innocent, so I can only be innocent; the lord suspects who I am having an affair with. Even my argument is sophistry. It is about what I can wait and hope for, that is, the prince is magnanimous, and let the past go."

Her eyes were red, and tears slowly filled: "My lord smiled, so I should be grateful to Dade. Every day I worry about it, waiting for the lord to remember these unreasonable things one day, and imprison me in the yard again, and take me away." The daughter is raised by others."

Murong Li lowered his head and saw her tears falling down to the ground one by one like pearls.Hey, he thought, why is Laozi ignoring me again?Damn, why are you crying?Isn't it magnanimous that I didn't hack that damned thing to death?

He took two steps irritably and roared, "Don't cry!"

Xiangxiang's shoulders trembled slightly, and tears flowed even more uncontrollably.

Damn, damn!A woman's tears are an unsolvable poison in the world, and a huge and violent beast shows its original shape in her tears.

Overwhelmed.
