Chapter 34 Extra Story [-]: Sand City

Xun Wangfu.

After nightfall, Xiangxiang was falling asleep when Murong Li came back from the outside and said, "Let's go, I'll take you out for a stroll."

Xiangxiang fell into a hazy sleep and didn't want to go. To play with him might as well go for a walk by herself, but she dared not say no.Murong Li took her on the horse, and the two of them rode out of Mayi City together.Xiangxiang was a little worried, and asked, "My lord, where are we going in the middle of the night?"

Murong Li said: "You will know after I tell you?"

Xiangxiang shut her mouth, indeed, she didn't know even if she said it, she came here, and she knew Mayicheng except in the army.

The full moon is still in the sky, and there is gradually thousands of miles of yellow sand in front of it. Xiangxiang is shocked by such an extreme scene in the world, that piece of black and yellow, as if the world has been in it since ancient times.The cold moon hung high in the sky, and the clouds melted in it like smoke.There are faintly stretching mountains in front of him, Murong is beating his horse, Xiangxiang doesn't know how he can tell the direction, in such an endless yellow sand, she can't tell the north and the south at all.

Murong Li said: "Is it beautiful?"

Xiangxiang nodded vigorously, this time sincerely: "It's so beautiful, is this the desert?"

Murong Li said: "Yeah. But you can't go deep, the terrain is too complicated." He understands that you can't take a woman to a dangerous place.

Xiangxiang said, "You don't need to go in, it's already beautiful here."

Murong lashed the horse and said, "There is a small grassland ahead, and Yunzhou has a horse farm there."

The surrounding area is quiet, the yellow sand is faintly surging in the dark night, dangerous and mysterious, the wind is blowing, and it is a bit cold.Xiangxiang huddled in Murong Li's arms, and Murong Li untied his fur coat to wrap her up, that little tender person nestled against his chest like a bird, as if about to melt away.Murong Li said, "Is it cold? Just pass here."

After all, he beat his horse and walked quickly, wanting to cross the desert as soon as possible.Xiangxiang realized that she wasn't worried at all. The temperature in the desert was very low at night, and it was inevitable to be a little colder on horseback, but the cold wasn't unbearable against his fiery body.

The sky was gradually turning white, the sun had already risen, and the temperature in the desert began to rise. Murong Li didn't dare to stay longer, and had to take Xiangxiang to the small oasis as soon as possible.He took the water bag and handed it to Xiangxiang. Xiangxiang turned her head and saw that his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. She couldn't help but took out a champagne and wiped it gently for him.Murong Li closed his eyes, feeling the soft and silky veil gently brushing over his cheeks.The woman beside him smiled gently and said, "There is a lot of dust outside, next time I will make a sand-proof mask for the prince."

Murong Li didn't know why, but felt a little tenderness in his chest.He said: "A bit of wind and sand is nothing. If you feel bad, you can take the children out of the city to stay for a few days..." Before finishing speaking, Xiangxiang said: "My lord, it's actually very good here. The children and I , love it here."

Murong Li stopped talking. A person like him only wants to give the best to his wife and children.Now the family is placed here, in fact, more reasons are just to accompany myself, but I always feel that this city is actually very bitter and cold.

Xiangxiang turned her head and snuggled into his arms. This man, for some reason, slowly made her feel like family.

Murong Li took a look at her and felt that it was so hot, you leaned so tightly, isn't it uncomfortable?Or did I not feed myself last night?It's okay to come here for a shot, the sky is sitting on the ground, and no one will pass by.But time is running out, the sun will rise in a while, and the sand will be scalding. I am not afraid, but I am worried that her skin is tender and fleshy, and she will not be able to resist the sun.

He rarely said euphemistically: "It's getting late, let's talk about it later."

Xiangxiang thought for a while before she understood what he said, and blushed angrily: "Rogue!"

Murong Li rode his horse and galloped, thinking how could I be a hooligan, but he didn't say anything, what's the point of arguing with a woman.

Not long after sunrise, Murong Li finally brought Xiangxiang to the small oasis, Xiangxiang was stunned from a distance, and saw a patch of fresh green slowly appearing at the end of a piece of yellow sand.Many wind-proof and sand-proof trees are planted here. It seems that the entire desert has shrunk before this new green, and behind the woods is a vast grassland.

Xiangxiang was amazed, and after a short walk, she saw a river, like a dark blue belt, surrounding the field as green as emerald.Horses of different coat colors run and play on the grassland. Occasionally, there are mares passing by with their ponies.Xiangxiang was so happy that she touched a fat yellow horse and asked, "Is this the racecourse?"

Murong snorted, someone had already come over and saluted from a distance: "My lord!"

It's from the racecourse, Murong Li didn't get off his horse, he responded condescendingly, then pointed at Xiangxiang, and said, "I've seen Wangfei."

Only then did the visitor come forward to salute in surprise: "Respectfully, the princess and empress are blessed."

Xiangxiang seldom came out and walked around, and not many servants knew her.Xiangxiang is not someone who can ride on a horse and accept salutes from others, so she hurriedly said, "Get up, there is no need to be too polite."

The people at the racecourse said: "I heard that the prince is coming, and Lord Ran is already waiting. Please, the prince and concubine."

Murong Li said: "This king takes Wangfei for a walk around, and we will go there at noon."

The people in the racecourse were slightly stunned. This prince, the most resolute person, when did he learn to "walk around" with women?Wen Yan didn't even dare to look at Xiangxiang, just said: "Yes."

Murong Li rode forward, at this time the sun had already risen, but because there were many grasses and trees, it was not too hot.Xiangxiang looked around all the way, only feeling that the scenery was beautiful and strange, different from anything she had seen in her life.

Murong Li rode his horse all the way to the river, got off the horse by himself, turned around and hugged Xiangxiang off.Xiangxiang was sweating a little, went to the river, wanted to wipe her face with water, but when she saw the sparkling river surface, she suddenly exclaimed: "Ah——"

Murong Li rushed over in two steps and pulled her behind him, the knife was already in his hand.I just looked around, didn't find anything unusual, and asked, "What's the matter?"

The soil was wet and slippery, and Xiangxiang was not able to stand firmly at first, but when he pulled her vigorously, she got behind him, and she just sat on the ground with her buttocks, and fell on all fours.When he got up, he was covered in mud and grass juice, and he was angry, but he turned his head and saw Murong Li's alert face, but he couldn't get angry, and said softly, "It's nothing, I just saw a lot of fish in the river."

Only then did Murong Li put his sword back into its sheath, and said: "In the past, Wen Shuai was stationed at Pingduguan, and he always ordered people to plant trees to prevent sand, and fish fry were always scattered in the river. The mesh size of the fishnets used by the fishermen here has regulations. He caught small fish, so there were plenty of fish. Later, Zuo Shuai came here and did not change his will, and he will be raised here for so many years, and the environment is good.” He walked to the river and used the water to fertilize his face.Now, he has also arrived here, and the border town west of Dayan belongs to him.

Xiangxiang walked to him, squatted down to wash her hands, and wiped the dirty parts of her clothes.There are indeed many fish in that river. As soon as you stretch your hand down, you will touch the slippery back.The joy in her eyes seemed to overflow, and she said: "If the children are here, they will be happy."

Murong Li said: "Well, it's just that Pingdu is closed here, and the desert in the middle is complicated. If you want to pick them up, you have to ask Yun Zhou to send someone to pick them up."

As soon as Xiangxiang stretched out her hand, she actually caught a big grass carp with black and blue back. She was so happy that she said, "Shall we eat fish at noon?"

Murong Li was taken aback, why did the topic end here?He said, "Yeah."

His war horse was grazing leisurely by the river. Seeing that Murong Li had no intention of leaving immediately, Xiang Xiang took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs, and prepared to go into the water to catch fish. Murong Li was sitting in a place with lush water and grass by the river. No urging.Xiangxiang caught two plump grass carp in the shallow water, causing splashes in the river.She also splashed water, the sun reflected on her delicate and smooth cheeks, she was as lovely as a pink doll.

Murong Li said: "Come here."

Xiangxiang walked over from the water, Murong Li stretched out his hands, grabbed her shoulders and gently lifted her, pulling her out of the water.Xiangxiang said: "My hands are full of fishy smell, let me wash them first."

Murong Li casually scooped up water to wash her hands, then carried her to the bluestone by the river, and began to undress her.Xiangxiang's complexion changed, and she ran outside, no matter how far she could run, she was caught by Murong Li within three or two steps.

Xiangxiang forbade him to act recklessly, seeing that he was indeed struggling hard, Murong said sharply, "What's wrong?"

Xiangxiang was about to cry: "It's sunny, someone will come!"

Murong Li said: "Fart." I am here with the princess, who would dare to come over?Do you think that other people are as ignorant as you are!
Xiangxiang didn't allow him to do it anyway, so Murong Li thought about it, so he pressed her by his side and said, "Lie down with me." He practiced the army until nightfall, and then rushed back to the mansion overnight, bringing Xiangxiang to wear clothes. I crossed a large area of ​​sand to come to Xiao Penglai, and I haven't slept all night until now.Xiangxiang obediently lay down on the bluestone, Murong hugged her tightly, and soon fell asleep.Xiangxiang didn't fall asleep, there were mosquitoes by the water, she pulled a large leaf, and fanned the wind while helping him drive away the mosquitoes.

Murong Li took a nap for about half an hour, and the wide leaves carried the wind, gently brushing against his clothes once in a while.He opened his eyes, and saw the woman beside him sleeping on his fur coat, her beautiful eyes slightly closed, and the leaves in her hands brought a cool breeze from time to time.

At noon, Murong Li came out with Xiangxiang. He had invited a few horse dealers to meet here, but before leaving, he felt that the scenery here was unique, so he brought Xiangxiang here to play.Although Ran Yunzhou had already prepared the fragrant rice, he never expected that he would bring Xiangxiang over.

There are many horse traders in the border town who sell horses from several countries. In order to get the best horses and master the breeds of good horses from other countries, Murong Li also often meets with them.At this time, Ran Yunzhou's complexion changed as soon as he entered the banquet - he called more than a dozen girls to accompany him to drink during the banquet.

The girls' eyes were piercing, as soon as Murong Li took his seat, they already knew who the master was.Seeing that they were about to swarm up, Ran Yunzhou quickly said: "Ladies, come here, I have seen the princess!" My aunts and grandmas, please don't mess around!

A dozen girls looked at each other with blank faces, but they were still led by Ran Yunzhou to salute Xiangxiang.How could Murong Li fail to understand that in the past when everyone gathered together, the sensuality was of course not without beauties to add to the fun.He coughed dryly, glanced at everyone, with menacing eyes, turned his head and looked at Xiangxiang again, feeling a little guilty.Xiangxiang was also puzzled—these women are the wives of Ma Shang?How to wear it... feels a little strange.

Everyone sat down as guests and hosts, and naturally had some pleasantries, and then talked about horses while eating. Now Xiliang war cavalry has the best stamina.However, Xiliang war horses are not for sale, and mares are hard to find.The surrounding countries all had their own ideas, Murong Li doubled the price again, and the beauties around were sitting quietly, looking like demure ladies.Even for a toast, the skirt is slightly pulled back, the corners of the mouth are slightly raised, the voice is low, and the smile does not show teeth.Ran Yunzhou winked at them frightenedly, and at the same time looked at Murong Li.Murong Li put on a straight face, and the meaning was very clear - if you dare to make Lao Tzu mess with you, think about how you will die!
Everyone just ate the meal in such a solemn manner, not daring to say a single extra word.Xiangxiang also felt that the atmosphere was weird, but Murong Li didn't let her go, and she didn't dare to leave either.After seeing the meal, Ran Yunzhou heaved a sigh of relief, the shopkeeper of the Banquet Shalou came up, respectfully saluted Murong Li, and asked, "Is the meal satisfactory, my lord? Are the girls serving you attentively?"

Murong Li burst into anger, Ran Yunzhou didn't please, a scolding was inevitable, this is still Xiangxiang, Murong Li felt that the punishment was too heavy and he felt guilty, otherwise he would be enough to drink a pot.He sent Xiangxiang back to the palace, and went to the barracks by himself.The generals in the battalion are all veterans who have led the army for several years. Without him, the world would not be able to turn the world around.He came for an urgent march training in the morning, and when he returned to the camp, he saw Yurou washing clothes.

My heart was already on fire, but at this moment, my brows were even more wrinkled. Murong said angrily, "Who told her to wash the clothes? What did I say?" Han Xu's complexion changed slightly, Yurou threw the clothes and said, " What else do you want? It's nothing more than trying to humiliate me!"

Murong Li sneered, and said, "Not bad." Yurou was stunned, and said, "I'm starting to pick up customers today, and I'm pretty good looking, and I can afford the money for a first-class product. Go."

Yurou bit her lips to bleed, two soldiers dragged her down, her body trembling slightly, she turned her head and looked at Han Xu again.Murong Li sneered: "Yan Qing, I'll give you the first night."

"Huh?" Yan Qing was originally standing in the crowd watching the excitement, but now he was suddenly called by his father, and was frightened into incoherent words: "My lord, I... you know about my tigress, if you heard that I actually went whoring Camp prostitutes...they will cry, make trouble and hang themselves before they turn around...This, such a beautiful blessing..."

Murong Li became impatient, and casually pointed at his handyman: "That's you."

The soldier was stunned, his eyes turned green: "Thank you, my lord!"

Murong Li turned back to the camp, Yurou was dragged into the tent by a few soldiers, this time she was not very polite, and touched her hand intentionally or unintentionally.At nightfall, the handyman really entered her account, and Yurou suddenly realized that it was true.Ever since Murong Li punished her to enter the camp, he really had no intention of letting her marry Han Xu.And Han Xu was not what she had always thought of, as long as she nodded, she could marry the backup.

She lowered her tone, and said to the miscellaneous soldier: "Can you... invite your General Han for me, I only see him once, please."

The handyman knew from the beginning that she had a marriage contract with his general, and when he heard this, he was a little hesitant.Seeing this, Yurou immediately took off the jade bracelet on her hand and handed it over: "Please."

The handy soldier didn't dare to accept her things, so he thought for a while and said, "I can ask our General Han for you, but it's not sure if he would like to see you. And just this time, it's not an example."

Yurou is very grateful, and the miscellaneous soldiers are not in a hurry. After all, they are camping outside Mayi City. There are still many women in the city, and everyone is not particularly aggressive.He really fell into Han Xu's account to ask.

Han Xu is actually a bit soft-hearted towards women.It used to be like this for Xiangxiang, but now, even though he has no affection for this Yurou, he still feels that bullying a woman like this is unjustifiable.He didn't know why Murong Li wanted to cancel his marriage with this Princess Xijing in a fit of anger. He thought that Murong Li was interested in her before, but now it doesn't look like it.The soldiers came over and told him the words of Princess Yurou, Han Xu hesitated.He didn't go to Yurou, if that woman spoke to him face to face in front of him, he would definitely not be able to cruelly ignore her.The handyman was still waiting for his reply, and he said, "I see." He left the camp, but he didn't go to see Yurou, and went to the palace instead.

In the mansion, Xiao Xuanxuan was flying a kite. When she saw him coming, she ran over and said, "Uncle Han!"

Han Xu picked her up, held her high and turned around in a circle, and then Xiao Jie ran over like a small group. He was young and ran slowly. At this time, he raised his hands high and wanted to hug her.He was afraid of Murong Li, but liked Han Xu and Zhou Zhuo.

Han Xu held one in his left hand and one in his right, and asked, "Where is the princess?"

Xiao Xuanxuan said: "Mother is washing the fruit, does Uncle Han want to eat it?"

Han Xu said, "Where's your nanny? Let her pass on a message for me."

While speaking, he entered the mansion. The nurse Cui greeted him and went back to report Xiangxiang.Xiangxiang met him through the curtain, and Han Xu greeted him. Xiangxiang said, "General Han, you don't need to be too polite. He came here specially. What's the matter?"

Han Xu stood outside the curtain, through the beaded curtain, he could vaguely see the beautiful figure inside.She was wearing a homely plain dress, her long hair was tied up, and only a silk flower was pinned to her temple.Although she has become a wife, she is still as simple and beautiful as the girl I met at Guo's Tofu Shop that day.Han Xu said: "Reporting to the concubine, the prince ordered that Princess Yurou of Xijing be filled into the camp as a prostitute. The subordinates feel that no matter what unforgivable things Princess Yurou has done, this move will eventually anger Xijing. And Xiliang. But the prince has always been very assertive, and he may not be able to listen to what his subordinates say, so he asked the concubine to persuade him."

Xiangxiang was taken aback: "Pretend, pretend to be a prostitute?"

Han Xu lowered his head. He knew that Xiangxiang would save Yurou, so he believed it somehow.When she was in Yilu Mountain back then, she certainly didn't want other girls to repeat such a fate.Sure enough, Xiangxiang stood up, turned around and said, "Mr. Tao, you send someone to the camp immediately, and ask the prince to come back to the mansion."

Tao Yizhi agreed, and hurriedly sent someone to find Murong Li.Han Xu bowed again and said, "So, thank you, Princess."

Xiangxiang was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "General Han, you don't have to be polite."

Han Xu took a few steps back slowly, turned around and left the palace.Xiangxiang looked at his figure silently. After all these years, he still has not married a wife.There wasn't even a decent woman by her side, so Xiao Xuanxuan had already chased after her, clamoring for him to accompany her to fly the kite.Han Xu held her with his left hand and helped her carry the kite with his right hand. The two walked out together, whispering something, but they couldn't hear clearly.

Murong Li came back rather quickly, Xiangxiang didn't have any urgent matters, so she usually didn't look for him.At this time, he hurriedly stepped into the gate of the mansion, and asked, "Where is the princess? What's the matter?"

Tao Yizhi was taken aback by his expression, and hurriedly said: "There is nothing wrong with the mansion, it's just the princess..."

Murong Li hadn't finished listening to the words, they had already passed the atrium, Xiang Xiang came up to meet him, Tao Yizhi retreated with a wink.Murong Li frowned and looked up and down, seeing that she seemed to be fine, he eased his tone and asked, "What can't we talk about in the evening?"

Xiangxiang chilled the fruit liqueur for him, and returned to the yard with him at this time, and handed it over.Murong Li took it casually, looked left and right, saw that Xiao Xuanxuan and Murong Jie were not there, and asked, "Where are the two little ones?"

Xiangxiang sat down beside him and said, "My lord, I think about it, Princess Yurou, you should take her back to the palace."

Murong Li was so furious that he slapped the bowl of sweet wine on the table and glared.Xiangxiang said: "After all, he is the prince's beloved. If he is placed in the camp, he may cause criticism."

Murong said angrily: "You bastard! If you want me to take a concubine so much..."

Xiangxiang smiled secretly, staring at him with watery eyes, and said: "No, I don't want the prince to take a concubine." She took his hands, put them to her lips, and said, "I don't want other women to hold these hands touch," then approached him, hugged his waist, and said, "I don't want any other woman leaning on the prince's chest like this..."

Murong Li's voice gradually became quieter, and the lingering anger was still lingering, he asked: "Then what are you doing with these bastard words?"

Xiangxiang buried her face in his chest and said: "At the beginning, I was also accompanying the prince in the camp. Now that the prince put her in the camp, don't I understand what the prince means..."

Murong Li scolded angrily: "Fart!" Could it be the same?
Xiangxiang said: "Isn't it? The prince spends more time in the camp than in the palace every day. You two see each other every day without seeing each other. There is no guarantee that one day..."

Murong Li wanted to push her away, but Xiangxiang didn't let her go.Murong Li struggled, afraid of hurting her, but still didn't use any strength, Xiangxiang said: "My lord, I'm afraid." Murong Li was stunned, Xiangxiang said: "I can't be 16 forever, but there are so many 16-year-olds in this world girl. I'm scared."

Murong Li slowly hugged her tightly, and after a long time, he said: "I see." After saying that, he turned around and left the palace.

Xiangxiang sent it to the gate of the courtyard, and received her mournful expression - she is the father of two children, and still like this, every time she said something, she had to be like coaxing a dog.

At night, Murong Li returned to the camp, called Han Xu, and said, "That woman, either you take a concubine and keep it for yourself, or you drag her to the river and kill her."

Han Xu was taken aback, knowing that Xiangxiang had persuaded him, so he hesitated a little.Murong glared at him sharply: "Do you have anything else to do?"

Only then did Han Xu say, "Yes."

Murong Li said: "Listen clearly, it's taking a concubine! It's not marrying a wife!"

Han Xu asked: "My lord, what did she do to make my lord so angry?"

If he doesn't ask, it's all right, but when he asks, Murong Li will get angrier - damn she wants to slander me, and I will talk nonsense?If he kicks over, you're the only one who talks too much!
The next day, Han Xu took Princess Yurou as his concubine and sent her back to the Han Mansion in Mayi City to take care of Mr. Han and his wife.Although Han Xu was just a concubine, he still treated him to a drink at night.Murong Li also went, Mr. Han and Mrs. Han were overjoyed. After all these years, the grandson brought a woman back after all.

A group of people were drunk outside, Murong Li left early, Han Xu was really drunk, Zhou Zhuo and Ran Yunzhou helped him into the bridal chamber.Yurou came to help him, and Ran Yunzhou said, "Zhou Zhuo, go out first."

Zhou Zhuo was puzzled: "What about you?"

Ran Yunzhou said: "I have something to do, you go out first."

Zhou Zhuo looked at Princess Yurou, who was all in red, hesitated, and said, "Han Xu is drunk, don't mess around. If you really want a woman, I will take you out to find a girl."

Ran Yunzhou kicked him out, and only Han Xu, who was unconscious, and Yu Rou, who was wearing a red hijab, were left in the bridal chamber.Yurou said, "Do you have something to tell me?"

Ran Yunzhou said: "There is no one here, you think about the road ahead, if you want, live with him."

Yurou suppressed the tears in her eyes and asked, "Can I still be unwilling?"

Ran Yunzhou lifted her hijab and handed her a piece of red silk, she was stunned.Ran Yunzhou said, "Your, the second choice."

Yurou opened her mouth, but there was no sound, Ran Yunzhou no longer hesitated, turned and left the bridal chamber.

Yurou held the red silk, lowered her head and thought for a long time.Then she turned around and saw Han Xu lying on the bed. He was very quiet even after he was drunk, and his profile under the candlelight was very handsome.She just stared at him like this, and after a long time, she realized that she was really no longer a princess.The respect and status that accompanied her from the moment she was born have disappeared into nothingness, and she is still holding this ridiculous airs, refusing to accept her fate.She put the red silk on the table, got up and took off the hair accessories, and bent down to help him take off his boots.Han Xu didn't wake up, reeking of alcohol.Yurou slowly lay down beside him.In fact, many things in a person's life must be settled.Just like the sun, moon and stars we used to like, like all the unattainable things in life.

If you can't ask for it, you should choose the near one and give up the far one.

After Han Xu woke up, there was a woman sleeping beside him.It took him a long time to remember that he married a woman yesterday.He sat up and dressed.Yurou also woke up, and Han Xu said: "It's still early, you can sleep for a while, and don't forget to say hello to grandparents when you get up. I'm going to the camp."

Yurou hesitated, and suddenly asked: "You... actually have a beloved woman, don't you?"

Han Xu paused as he put on his boots, and said, "I won't bother you, tell the housekeeper if I need anything in the future, and I won't enter your yard if there's nothing wrong."

Yurou bit her lip and burst into tears: "Why, you all hate me so much! Why?" In the past in Xijing, although she was not the most beloved princess of her father, she grew up like a star.It was only when I arrived at Dayan that I realized for the first time that I was not some kind of beauty. She burst into tears, and Han Xu finally turned his head and asked, "Isn't this what you wished for?"

Yurou seemed to collapse, lying on the pillow embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, crying bitterly.Han Xu stood for a long time, and then said: "Don't cry." Yurou's tears soaked a large piece of pillow towel, Han Xu thought about it, and still pulled the silk handkerchief for her.Yurou took it in her hand, looked up at him, her eyes were still red, she asked: "If... If I am willing to live with you, is it still possible?"

Han Xu was stunned, and Yurou said: "If you can get the person you love, you must have married and returned home. If you can't get it anymore, can we have a good life?"

Han Xu was a little surprised and asked, "You don't mind?"

Yurou said, "I..." she lowered her head, not knowing what to say.Han Xu said, "If you don't mind, it's fine."

Yurou raised her head, and in his eyes, she saw herself with disheveled hair.

When Murong Li returned home, he smelled of alcohol, and Xiang Xiang helped him take a bath.He said, "That woman, give it to Han."

Xiangxiang promised, hit the soap soap on his back and chest, and scrubbed vigorously with her little hands.Murong Li leaned comfortably against the edge of the bathtub, seeing that she didn't even blink, very satisfied, he hugged her, Xiangxiang struggled, and said, "Don't make trouble, get my clothes wet!"

Murong Li drank a little too much, and when the hot water evaporated, he became even more drunk. Regardless of this, he just hugged her in his arms and said, "Don't be afraid."

Xiangxiang was stunned, and then hugged him vigorously. This man, for real, was treating her wholeheartedly.She raised her head slightly, and kissed his chin, Murong Li kissed him back even more forcefully, on the other side of the screen, Bi Zhu only heard the movement with one ear, and hurried out the door.

The next day, Murong Li slept with Xiangxiang in his arms until noon.Xiao Xuanxuan crawled in and forced her way between the two of them. Murong scolded sharply, and brought her daughter to him, holding her down with one hand, and hugged Xiangxiang with the other.Xiao Xuanxuan was about to sleep with her mother, and at this moment she scratched her limbs and screamed.Murong said angrily, "Get out of here again." Xiangxiang couldn't help laughing, and carried her daughter over. There was a little baby between the two of them, and there was a lot of excitement.Little Xuanxuan didn't want to sleep, she was already full of sleep, and at this time, she was rubbing her hands and feet.Murong Li didn't sleep at all, got up, and Xiangxiang helped him change his clothes.She is an extremely meticulous woman, the clothes that Murong Li will wear the next day must pass through her hands.

Therefore, each one has a unique incense on it, and sometimes it is her own flower dew.The clothes are ironed properly, and even the necklaces for ornaments will not have a wrinkle.Murong Li asked her to help him tie his clothes, Xiangxiang suddenly felt a nausea in his stomach, covered his mouth with one hand, and began to retch.

Murong Li frowned: "What's wrong?" Is there still bad food in this mansion?The servants were all clever, and they hurried to find the doctor without his order.Xiangxiang had given birth before, so I didn't know it, and I felt a little bit at this time, but it's hard to say.When the doctor came over for a consultation, he knew that rewards were indispensable, and he announced the good news one after another: "Congratulations to the lord, the lord is very happy, the concubine and empress have it!"

Murong Li was a little dazed——Is there really a brat who knew to say hello before he came?For a moment, I couldn't tell what my mood was. After thinking for a while, I said: "There is work, there is work." The doctor was frightened, and he bowed his hands again and again, and dared not say it.

Tao Yizhi sent the doctor away, Murong Li didn't go to the barracks, he stayed with Xiangxiang in the room, and didn't know his wife was pregnant, so he should do something.Xiangxiang looked amused, and said, "Your Majesty, let's go."

Murong Li asked: "Then you are pregnant like this?"

Xiangxiang couldn't help laughing: "What can I do if I just hold it like this, you are afraid that it will run away."

Murong Li thought about it, too, and said: "This king is going out for a while, come back later."

Xiangxiang hummed, and with a very gentle tone, Murong took a sharp look at her, and said, "I've taken the two little brats to the camp, so I won't bother you."

Xiangxiang is still worried: "I can bring it myself, the children are naughty, and the prince has serious business, so don't let them follow."

Murong Li didn't care, went out, picked up Xiao Xuanxuan and Xiao Jie with both hands, sat on each side of the left and right shoulders, and walked out of the house.Xiao Xuanxuan was overjoyed, while Xiao Jie was trembling with fright. Children over two years old are not afraid of heights, but mainly because of Murong Li.

Xiangxiang followed all the way to the gate of the mansion, and went back when she saw that the father and son had gone far away.After walking a few steps, someone came in from outside. As soon as Xiangxiang looked up, she saw Guo Yang, and she was so happy that she didn't know what to do: "Why are you back?"

Guo Yang was sweating profusely, and the temperature in the border town was high during the day. He said: "Something happened in Donghu, and General Shen Yucheng was injured. I sent him back to his hometown to raise him. It happens that his hometown is not far from here, so I came to see you."

Xiangxiang led him into the living room, and hurriedly asked someone to lead him down to take a bath and change clothes.Guo Yang was not polite to his sister and changed his clothes by himself.Xiangxiang was ordering someone to prepare lunch, when a voice came from outside: "Sister Xiangxiang! Just leave him alone and ignore me!"

Xiangxiang stretched her head out, and saw Xue Jinping also stepped into the gate of the mansion.Xiangxiang was terrified, but Xue Jinping didn't see her, so she rushed over and hugged her: "Sister Xiangxiang, ignore me when you leave! Leave me alone in Jinyang, you'll suffocate me to death!"

Xiangxiang couldn't laugh or cry: "You are a dignified princess, if you don't stay in Jinyang, why did you come here?"

Xue Jinping was dissatisfied: "Father is so busy proposing marriages to me every day, I'm so annoyed. When Guo Yang came over, I went out to play with him and see you by the way."

Xiangxiang teased her: "It's me, or the prince."

Xue Jinping shrank his head like a mouse, looked around, and asked, "Is he not there?"

Xiangxiang couldn't help laughing: "Not here, come in quickly. If you want to eat, I'll make it for you."

Xue Jinping hugged her and kissed her hard: "Sister Xiangxiang is the best! I want to eat yellow braised mutton, red plum and pearl, ground pot chicken..." followed by a series of menus unceremoniously.

Xiangxiang shook her head dotingly: "Got it."

Cui said in a low voice: "Princess Jingshu, the princess is pregnant now, it's better to work less."

"Ah?" Xue Jinping touched Xiangxiang's belly and exclaimed, "Sister Xiangxiang, you have a baby again?"

Xiangxiang nodded shyly and said, "It's okay, the month is still young."

Xue Jinping put her ear up to listen, and asked through her stomach: "Are you a boy or a girl? Hey, can you hear me? You should say yes, you bad guy!"

Xiangxiang almost laughed out loud, and said, "Okay, I've been making a fuss since I arrived, so go wash it up, there's some fruit frozen in the well, I'll ask someone to bring it over."

Xue Jinping was also rude, and immediately agreed, and went down to change clothes.

When Guo Yang came out, she also changed it, and then Xiangxiang had already put out the chilled bonus, and filled some fruit wine.Guo Yang is almost 16 years old, growing taller and stronger.At this moment, he drank half a bowl of sweet wine and said: "Sister, don't be so busy, I still have something to do to find the prince. Let's go first."

Xiangxiang said, "Remember to come back for dinner later."

Guo Yang said: "Don't wait for me, I will go back with the prince when he comes back." As soon as the words fell, he was ready to leave.Xue Jinping quickly got up and followed behind him.Guo Yang frowned and said, "Why are you following me, it's windy and sandy outside, and it's so hot!"

Xue Jinping's almond-shaped eyes widened: "Ma Yicheng is so big, I'm going your way!"

Guo Yang was very angry: "You will have heat stroke again later!"

Xue Jinping just didn't go back: "I want you to take care of it!"

When Xiangxiang saw the scene of the two of them, she was a little interesting, so she didn't speak.Guo Yang said: "You wait here, I will come back for dinner later."

Xue Jinping said: "I want to go out to play! Who cares about you!"

Guo Yang frightened her: "I'm going to find the prince, if you want to see him, come along!"

As soon as these words came out, Xue Jinping really didn't dare to move. After thinking for a long time, he said: "You must come back later. Otherwise, I will find you! You don't want to get rid of me!"

Guo Yang sighed and went out on his own.

Xiangxiang cooks, and Xue Jinping follows her like a puppy, helping her.Xiangxiang thought for a while, and then asked, "Jin Ping, are you sixteen this year?"

Xue Jinping said, "Yes."

Xiangxiang said: "Marriage...Pei Guogong is probably already making arrangements?"

It's okay if she didn't mention this, but when Xue Jinping mentioned it, she got angry: "My grandfather doesn't care about me at all. His eyes can't see anything except snobbery! What a new champion, what a young master! My elder sister married I've become a concubine in the palace, why should I marry the No. [-] Scholar Hou Ye!"

Xiangxiang hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Then who do you want to marry?"

Xue Jinping said angrily: "I won't marry anyone, I'm still young, I haven't played enough yet!"

Xiangxiang laughed and teased her: "Dayan is full of civil and military affairs, and none of us Princess Jingshu is interested?"

Xue Jinping spat, and after thinking about it again, he blushed suddenly for some reason.Xiangxiang lowered her head and marinated the meat without speaking.After a long time, she blushed and asked, "Sister Xiangxiang, what does it feel like to like someone?"

Xiangxiang was slightly startled, the hand that was sprinkling the marinade stopped for a while, then smiled, and said, "Yes...it's a very bitter and beautiful feeling. When you saw him, it was so sweet that your heart melted, and you haven't left him yet." , I started to miss him." Fascinated, heartbroken, just because of thinking of him.

Xue Jinping was slightly taken aback, and said, "Then... at least he must like you too, right?"

Xiangxiang stopped talking, and asked, "Which handsome young man is our princess looking for?"

Xue Jinping spat again, then felt a little disappointed.

After noon, Guo Yang came back, followed by Murong Li.He is young, although Murong Li arranged for him to practice in the army, but he has no military merits, and he is only the captain of Shen Yucheng at present, so he still has a military position for Murong Li's sake.Fortunately, although he is small, he is quite clever and has good martial arts skills.Shen Yucheng stayed by his side all the time, quite trusting.

The two sat down at the table, and Murong Li asked Shen Yucheng about the injury in detail.Xiangxiang wasn't interested either, she just brought up the dishes one by one, Xue Jinping's prestige was gone, and she sat down beside Xiangxiang.Instead, Murong Li said: "Stop busy, can't you ask the servants to do it?" He meant Xiangxiang.

Xiangxiang said: "It's nothing. When I was pregnant with Xiaojie, I caught wild rabbits and chopped firewood in the mountains."

Murong Li was silent, opened his mouth, and didn't say any more.The atmosphere of the meal was not very good, he was there, Guo Yang and Xue Jinping were very reserved and did not dare to speak loudly, and Xue Jinping wanted to pretend to be invisible.

Murong Li finished his meal in a few gulps, and went to the study to write a playlist for Murong Bo.Xue Jinping was alive now, tugging at Guo Yang's sleeve, and said, "Hey, let's go for a walk!"

Guo Yang pushed her hand away and said, "Princess Jing, the villain has business to do, so I can't accompany you on a tour!"

Xue Jinping's joyful expression instantly seemed like a candle being extinguished.Xiangxiang couldn't see this, and said: "The princess asked you to go out with her, how dare you disobey her order? You want to die!"

Guo Yang turned around and glanced at her. He wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and said nothing.Xue Jinping was happy now, pulled his sleeves and said, "Go, go, didn't you hear the order from the princess?"

The two of them tugged to go out, and faintly heard Guo Yang's voice: "Don't tug, let people see what it looks like..."

Xiangxiang looked at the two of them, and sighed for some reason.

The desert outside the city of Mayi is filled with endless yellow sand, and the red sun sheds blood, soaking the desert.Xue Jinping whipped the horse, and Guo Yang followed behind her not too far or too close.After a long time, she finally walked slower and slower, and waited until he came after him.The shadows of the two lay obliquely on the yellow sand, she lowered her head and said nothing.

Guo Yang said: "If the princess is fine, the villain will go back first."

Xue Jinping asked: "You hate me that much?"

Guo Yang was slightly stunned and did not speak.Xue Jinping got off the horse, and Guo Yang said, "The sand is hot." She simply took off her shoes and threw them towards him vigorously, her white and tender feet were only wearing thin socks, stepping on the sand.It turned out that the sand was really hot.

Guo Yang caught her two boots, frowned and asked, "What exactly do you want?"

Xue Jinping walked a few steps on the sand and said, "Help me build a sand castle!"

Guo Yang flatly refused: "I won't!"

Xue Jinping said: "Liar, you helped Xuanxuan overwhelm last time!"

Guo Yang said, "It's just a trick to coax children."

Xue Jinping said: "In this life, no one has ever given me any gifts. Please help me build a sand city."

Guo Yang was startled for a long time, then leaned slightly, and slowly built a sand castle on a flat sandy ground.It was rare for Xue Jinping to remain silent, standing beside him, looking down.

It was a city born in the sand, with majestic gates, guards, and moats.The city is full of shops, wide official roads, vehicles and horses, and pedestrians in a hurry.Guo Yang lowered his head, and the sunlight slanted across his side face, which was still childish, showing extraordinarily focused.Xue Jinping was still looking at the rising sand city at the beginning, but his gaze has been melting on his face since he doesn't know when.

Time is silent quicksand, when the sun was setting, Guo Yang got up and said: "Okay." After saying that, he turned and left.Xue Jinping stood in front of Shacheng, and heard the footsteps behind him fading away.Dusk fell on the sand, and the wind picked up and swept away the traces on the sand.Xue Jinping leaned over to block the wind, and the wind passed through her.The lifelike sand city collapsed in her embrace, turning every inch into sand.

Murong Li was writing the playlist in the study, and several soldiers who joined the army were called to go.Xiangxiang played with Xiao Xuanxuan and Xiao Jie in the mansion, while waiting for Xue Jinping and Guo Yang to come back.When it was getting late, she was also a little anxious. Although the two of them knew each other well, they were lonely and widowed.

Just as he was thinking, he saw Guo Yang coming in first.Xiao Xuanxuan ran fast, and hugged his thigh.The moment Guo Yang picked her up, Xiangxiang still saw the expression on his face, his eyes were terribly bright, as if they were covered with water.Xiaojie also rushed forward, seeing that his sister was already in his uncle's arms, he didn't argue, just stood and watched quietly.Guo Yang picked him up as well, holding one in each hand.Little Xuanxuan kept chattering: "Uncle, I want to ride a horse!"

Guo Yang said: "It's getting dark, what kind of horse are you riding?"

Xiao Xuanxuan quit, scratching her limbs: "Then uncle will be a horse for me to ride!"

Xiangxiang said angrily: "Xuanxuan, don't mess around!" Then she asked Guo Yang, "Jingping didn't come back, why did you come back first?"

Xiangxiang was a little angry, and said: "I'm asking you, you went out with her, why did you come back by yourself first? She was a little girl outside alone, what should I do if something happened? She is not good at riding, wait After a while, it will be dark. Can she know the way back?"

Guo Yang said: "If you are worried, just send someone to look for it yourself."

He was about to leave with Xiaoxuanxuan and Xiaojie in his arms, Xiangxiang asked, "Guo Yang, you treat her...really..."

Guo Yang's voice regained his composure, and he said: "She comes from a noble family, and she is also a princess. I am a little captain, how dare I climb high."

Xiangxiang said: "Guo Yang, if you are really interested in each other, you can..."

Guo Yang interrupted her and said: "You can ask the prince to come forward and help me decide." Xiangxiang paused, Guo Yang tried to calm his tone, and said: "Sister, my brother-in-law helped me find my current errand. Don't I My wife, my future, my everything, can I only rely on my brother-in-law?" After so many years of man's ambition, in the end, he can only rely on a nepotism?
No.

Do not……

Xue Jinping didn't come back for a long time, Xiangxiang was in a hurry and kept sending people out to look for her.It was getting late, Xiao Xuanxuan was tired from playing with Xiao Jie, and she had already gone to bed.Guo Yang didn't sleep all this time, he didn't know why, he just kept an eye on the movement outside.After waiting for a long time, the servants came to report, but Xue Jinping was still not found.Guo Yang turned out of the mansion and was about to lead the horse. Standing on the courtyard wall of the palace, he saw Xue Jinping leading the horse into the gate of the mansion.He jumped off the courtyard wall and went back to the room silently.

The next day, Xue Jinping returned to Jinyang.Xiangxiang sent her all the way outside Mayi City, Xue Jinping looked back, but Guo Yang was nowhere to be seen.She smiled and said, "Sister Xiangxiang, I will get married this time when I go back. I can't come to you like this in the future."

Xiangxiang felt a pain in her heart, and Xue Jinping rode forward, singing a shepherding song of Dayan while riding the horse.The singing voice splashed down like pearls and jade, and then became weak again.Behind her, Bi Zhu held an umbrella for her, and said softly, "Princess, let's go back to the mansion first. People with a body can't bask in the sun like this."

Xiangxiang nodded, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Guo Yang, standing under the eaves of the old shop at the corner, a young man in a green shirt, with a slight look in his handsomeness.
