marry the princess

Chapter 32 The Difficulty of the Night Pearl

When Murong Huayi and Su Leyan returned to the banquet, Emperor Murong Qingyu had already returned, and was sitting next to the queen mother, talking to the queen mother, raised his eyes to see them coming back, and said with a smile: "The queen mother just asked about fourteen Why have you been away for so long with the princess, and you came back."

Murong Huayi and Su Leyan were walking side by side. At this moment, everyone in the courtyard focused their eyes on them. After what happened just now, Su Leyan couldn't help but look at Murong Yu a few more times. Murong Yu was also looking at them with a wine glass , the deep eyes are full of emotions that people can't see clearly, a smile that is not a smile, cold and indifferent, with no deep meaning.

Su Leyan didn't want to get involved in the muddy water at all, so she didn't open her eyes to look.

"The troubled mother and the emperor's brother are worried. Fourteen and Xinyao went out together. It's not a sneaky time." Murong Huayi glanced at Murong Yu and Murong Yunnuo, with a polite smile on the corner of his mouth. Naturally grabbed Su Leyan's waist, walked forward with her, and stopped on the red carpet in the center, "Today is the first time Shisi brought Xinyao to visit the queen mother and brothers, because of the accident a few days ago, the delay After a long time, Fourteen also asked the queen mother and the emperor's brother to be considerate and not to be offended."

When Murong Huayi mentioned the accident, everyone present fell silent for a moment.

Su Leyan also didn't know why Murong Huayi had brought up this matter in such a happy reunion, but she was very dissatisfied with Murong Huayi's behavior of getting close to her as soon as he entered the palace.Just now, he was cold to her outside, but now he has become so gentle and considerate, which deliberately made her feel a little disgusted.

When the unexpected incident was mentioned, the expressions of the people sitting there changed slightly. The Empress Dowager Chengyuan naturally knew about it. The royal descendants were threatened, and it happened at the feet of the emperor, which still makes people feel lingering.

"Emperor, Ai's family has not asked for some time ago. I don't know if the thief who dared to hurt the prince in the imperial city has been arrested and brought to justice?"

"Mother, don't worry, the Ministry of Criminal Justice is still investigating the matter thoroughly."

Empress Dowager Chengyuan felt sorry for Murong Huayi, and frowned, "How long has it been, why haven't you dealt with this matter well?"

"The fourteenth brother is very talented. Although he is young, he has already made a lot of contributions to my Moxuan country. With such achievements, I think that the fourteenth brother will not only attract attention in the Moxuan country, but also attract the attention of the fourteenth brother." There are a lot of secret forces paying attention." Murong Yu put down the wine glass in his hand, looked up at Murong Huayi slowly and said, "Dare to assassinate the fourteenth brother in the imperial city shortly after his wedding. The purpose is definitely not simple."

It was originally a "family banquet", but it was dragged elsewhere without knowing it.

"However," Murong Yu changed the subject and stared at Su Leyan, "The fourteenth brother has always been sharp, if this time the assassination was aimed at the fourteenth brother, I think it's just a coincidence that he chose such a special one." Period. I think the siblings around the fourteenth brother may also be one of the reasons."

Empress Dowager Chengyuan was puzzled, she stared at Murong Yu, "What does Lao Qi mean by that?"

"The fourteenth brother and sister are the beloved daughter of General Yan. General Yan only defeated Liang's army in the western border in March. I think this assassination may have something to do with Liang."

Murong Yu deliberately released various possibilities, on the surface he looked worried about them, but secretly observed their reactions closely.Murong Huayi was not at all surprised when he said such words, this is Murong Yu, who left many seemingly reasonable clues for others despite his irrelevance.Now that he is spending all his time here, he doesn't know what he wants...

"Could it be an assassin from the Liang Kingdom?" The Empress Dowager Chengyuan couldn't help but follow the ecstasy formation he had set up.

"Mother, today we are reunited to enjoy the moon, let's put aside these court affairs for now." Emperor Murong Qing Yu persuaded, but unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Chengyuan was a little angry, "Fourteen encounters assassins, this is our responsibility." Family affairs, how do you say it is a matter of the court? Could it be that the Ai family can't take care of this matter?"

"The queen mother calms down, but the minister has no such intention."

Murong Huayi glanced at Murong Yu, and smiled, "Queen, isn't it a good time for Erchen to stand here now? Erchen will also protect Xinyao and won't let her have anything to do. Queen Mother doesn't have to worry about it. Who did it, Brother Huang will definitely investigate and find out."

Murong Huayi spoke up in person, and Empress Dowager Chengyuan also softened a little.Murong Yunnuo listened for a long while, and then interrupted, "Fourteenth brother, don't be careless, you are still on the cusp of the storm, you must be cautious in everything." Holding her arms, eyes half down, Su Leyan, whose appearance cannot be described as cute at the moment, "There is someone who needs protection around me, so be careful with every step you take." Such a fragile person would not bear her to bear even a little wind.

Murong Huayi accepted Murong Yunnuo's kind reminder, hugged Su Leyan more intimately into his arms, and looked at her dotingly, "That's natural, I will never let Xinyao suffer any harm."

To save face, Su Leyan smiled shyly in front of everyone, but did not respond to Murong Huayi's words.

Murong Huayi noticed her indifference towards him, and his eyes darkened for a moment, but there was still a warm smile on his face, and he tightly circled Su Leyan who was calmly trying to walk away from him, "Just now Brother Nine The queen mother gave a surprise, and it was the first time Fourteen brought her daughter-in-law to visit the queen mother, Xinyao also prepared a gift for the queen mother, and just sent someone to bring this thing."

Su Leyan's slow movement was stopped, when did they prepare a gift for the Queen Mother?He raised his eyes in surprise, but saw Murong Huayi's easy-going smile.Su Leyan suppressed her astonishment, he is the majestic fourteenth prince, how could he forget this bit of etiquette, just now, he purposely angered her that she didn't prepare anything and made her anxious.

Murong Huayi's opening successfully attracted everyone's attention to the gift, and the guards slowly carried the things in just as Murong Huayi finished speaking.

At night, the lights were flickering, the fire was flickering, and the full moon in the sky cast a cool light on the palace. After the guards put the things down, Murong Huayi walked to the black wooden cabinet that was as tall as a person, and said nothing slowly. Open the wooden cabinet door.As soon as Murong Huayi opened the door of the wooden cabinet, all the flickering lanterns at the banquet were instantly extinguished, but at this moment, the light pouring out of the wooden cabinet immediately made up for the light lost at the banquet, and the brief dark moment made this The light was brighter and more moving, and everyone was stunned.

Inside the wooden cabinet was a night pearl, as big as the moon they saw hanging in the sky at the moment, placed on a carefully carved sandalwood base, emitting a soft light blue light.

Such a big luminous pearl is dazzling, and everyone's eyes are filled with inconceivable admiration.

The Empress Dowager Chengyuan was stunned for a while before recovering, staring at the little moon in the courtyard, "Such a big night pearl is really rare."

After seeing this Ye Mingzhu, Murong Yu got up from his seat, walked out very interested in it, stared at Ye Mingzhu from close by, and asked: "I heard that the fourteenth younger siblings like it?" Ruby and gemstones, I received a rare treasure in the general's mansion, the size of a small moon. Looking at this luminous pearl in front of me, I couldn't help but think of it. The [-]th siblings gave the Queen Mother such a luminous pearl, but they also gave their own I put my mind into it."

Su Leyan didn't know anything at all, she was shocked by Murong Huayi's surprise, and now she was choked by Murong Yu's question, almost panicked.Murong Huayi comforted Su Leyan's waist, and was about to explain, but Murong Yu hadn't finished speaking, and blocked Su Leyan's retreat with one sentence, "This gift is specially prepared for meeting the Queen Mother, I wonder if it has any deep meaning? "

In this way, the focus fell on Su Leyan, and the Empress Dowager Chengyuan also wanted this daughter-in-law to perform well in front of the emperor and other royal families, so she followed Murong Yu's words and asked Su Leyan, "Xinyao said, come to mourn the family." Listen, what is the meaning of this gift?"

Su Leyan kept complaining, Murong Huayi didn't discuss this incident with her at all, just now she said that she specially prepared it for the Queen Mother, if she couldn't explain it...

Murong Huayi knew that Murong Yu was looking for trouble, but he had no choice but to watch how Su Leyan would cope.

"Seventh brother actually knows that Xinyao likes ruby ​​gemstones, Xinyao is really surprised."

She had no choice but to wait for her to speak, so Su Leyan could only secretly stare at Murong Huayi, walked away from him, and took two steps gracefully.

"Xinyao prefers the bright color of ruby ​​gemstones, so a lot of jewelry at home is inlaid with ruby ​​gemstones. The pigeon blood ruby ​​gemstone in Xinyao's boudoir is indeed similar to this night pearl, but compared to this bright pearl, Xinyao Yao's one is still much smaller." Su Leyan went around the corner and didn't rush to get to the point, "This luminous pearl is bright and gentle. If it is placed in the Empress Dowager's bedroom, it will not disturb the Empress Dowager's rest at night. Second, if the Empress Dowager wakes up at night , It is also very convenient to see things. Although the light of the luminous pearl is soft, it can dispel darkness, just like the queen mother. The queen mother is kind and kind, with a heart for the country, and loves the people of the world. This kind of benevolent heart is like the light of the luminous pearl, warm and moist Soft, giving people warmth and peace of mind. Xinyao gave the Empress Dowager the Ye Mingzhu, hoping that the Empress Dowager will have a happy life and be blessed forever."

The queen mother was very satisfied after hearing her words, and seeing that Ye Mingzhu was also very useful, she couldn't help but highly praised Su Leyan.

Murong Yu raised the corner of his lips when he heard her grandiose words, "The luminous pearl is so precious, it's not easy to get one or two on a daily basis. I'm really curious where this luminous pearl came from?"

Murong Huayi was about to open his mouth to help her out of the situation, but Su Leyan blinked her eyes, and said in surprise: "Brother Seven just found out that Xinyao has a big ruby ​​gemstone, and Xinyao was just thinking about why Brother Seven is so powerful. , I actually knew that my father secretly gave me a surprise birthday gift when I was 14 years old. Guess where this night pearl came from."

Su Leyan could emphasize the matter of the ruby ​​gem again, and everyone present at the scene realized the implication of Su Leyan.

Murong Huayi looked at Su Leyan, who was staring at Murong Yu seriously at the moment, with such a naive and curious look that no one could see that she did it deliberately.

Murong Yu didn't expect Su Leyan to bite back. Although he was surprised, he immediately drafted his words seamlessly, "When I discussed jade and antiques with General Yan, I heard General Yan mention such a rare treasure. Baby, I don't know anything."

Being fooled by him, Su Leyan had no choice but to give up.

Murong Yu wanted her to make a fool of herself in front of the empress dowager and the emperor, Su Leyan naturally felt it, and her aggressive words pushed her to the forefront, she didn't dare to guess what Murong Yu was thinking.She was still brooding about the matter at the lake just now, and now she wanted to embarrass Murong Yu in front of the empress dowager and the emperor, but he broke it with just a few words. Although she was not reconciled, there was nothing she could do.

Murong Huayi also rescued Su Leyan at this time, and told Ye Mingzhu's origin.Murong Yu also stopped targeting Su Leyan, returned to his seat, and tasted wine leisurely.Murong Yunnuo seemed to see something on the side, and was a little puzzled that although the two of them were smiling friendly, they seemed to be competing in secret.Murong Yunnuo's mind is simple, in the past he certainly would not have been so aware, but Su Leyan has always been gentle and gentle, today her attitude towards Murong Yu is a bit difficult, so she couldn't help being more thoughtful.
