frivolous princess

Chapter 97

"What is the 'Cao'e Temple Fair'?" Shangguan Fuxue finally couldn't help asking.

"'Cao'e Temple Fair' is nothing." Nangong Lieyan smiled, "Cao'e is a filial daughter. One year, her father drowned and his body was swept away by the tide. She lost her loving father, so she searched along the river overnight. After seventeen days, they still couldn't find it. She took off her coat and prayed to the sky that if her father's body was still there, the clothes would sink; if her father's body was no longer there, the clothes would float. She threw the coat into the river As expected, she sank into the water. Without even thinking about it, she jumped into the river. Five days later, Cao E, who had drowned, floated up with the body of her deceased father. The news spread quickly and shocked the government and the public. Because of his filial piety, he built a stele and built a temple for Cao E. In order to pass on this kind of filial piety, a grand temple fair is held for him every year."

"Oh——" Shangguan Fuxue pondered for a while, "Isn't May Festival the Dragon Boat Festival? Are you sure it's not to commemorate 'Qu Yuan'?"

"Who is Qu Yuan?" Nangong Lieyan frowned, obviously never heard of this name.

Shangguan Fuxue rolled her eyes, "I don't know him either." It seems that this world has similarities with the world of the previous life, and also has many differences.

"Since you don't know each other, what are you talking about?" Nangong Lieyan rolled his eyes.

"I'm bored!" Shangguan Fuxue said cheerfully.

"You are boring enough..." Nangong Lieyan lowered his voice.

When Shangguan Fuxue heard him tell this story, her heart felt sour, and she couldn't help but think of the grievances of that day.If filial piety can get the love of her parents, even if she jumps into the river like "Cao E", she is also duty-bound.It's a pity that she was so sincere that she didn't get any consideration from Shangguanjie, instead she scolded her indiscriminately.

In this heart, apart from grievance, there is more unwillingness.

The Liang family's mother and daughter are so arrogant, but Shangguan Jie still considers them in every way!

After being wronged and unwilling, she felt that perhaps this was because Shangguan Jie had always been used to belittle her, and because of her own birth, she had killed his beloved woman.It's normal for him to have difficulty accepting it for a while.

But even after thinking through everything, Shangguan Fuxue still couldn't be happy.In the previous life, he was an orphan and did not receive any care from his parents; in this rebirth, he finally had a legitimate father, but he was such a troubled person.

"Hey!" Shangguan Fuxue couldn't help sighing.

"Still thinking about what happened that day?" Nangong Lieyan said indifferently.

"The result was beyond people's expectations. I was just 'losing my wife and losing my army'. I didn't get any benefit, but I was scolded instead."

Nangong Lieyan snorted softly, "Little Xue'er is a smart person, and she didn't realize it?"

"See what?"

"The reason why General Shangguan dare not touch Mu Hua is because he is afraid of his appearance!"

"Of course I can see this. What I don't understand is that although Liang Xiang covers the sky with one hand, Dad is in control of the military. Why are you still afraid of him?"

"Although General Shangguan has the military power, the second prince Long Xiaotian has already cut off part of it. Although it is less than one-third of the total, it is enough to make General Shangguan worry every night."

Shangguan Fuxue frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Think about it, the second prince is the emperor's son after all. If he dares to deprive you of your military power today, he will naturally dare to seize your military power tomorrow. Under the sky, is it the king's land; on the shore of the land, is it the king's minister? Your father's military power is just a joke."

"Oh." Shangguan Fuxue understood a little bit, "A glass of wine releases military power."

"When the magpie and the clam fight, the fisherman wins. The second prince is waiting for the day when the prime minister's mansion and the general's mansion will fight, and when both of you will lose out in the fight, he can easily pick up a 'big bargain'!"

"So, when Dad scolded me, he also scolded the Liang family?" Shangguan Fuxue frowned.

"I don't know that."

After talking to Nangong Lieyan, the depression in Shangguan Fuxue's heart eased.

At this time, the boat with awning awning entered the lotus pond, and all the fresh and natural smells came to our faces.

Shangguan Fuxue couldn't help sniffing greedily, and opened the curtain on the boat canopy. There were a few stars in the sky, and the moonlight was half hidden among the clouds, like a woman with a light veil covering her face. It's wonderful.

She couldn't help but came out and yelled loudly: "Hello! Is anyone there?"

With the sound of her falling, the sounds of frogs and insects around her became a little more eager, as if responding to her, ups and downs.

"Listen!" Shangguan Fuxue yelled at Nangong Lieyan.

"Listen to what?" Nangong Lieyan hurriedly pretended to be stupid, "Listen to you yelling? Silly, a big living person is standing next to you, but you ask if there is anyone? Can't you put it in a normal way?"

Shangguan Fuxue gave him a white look, without being annoyed, she smiled and said, "What do you know?! As long as you are happy, whatever it is called!"

"Instead of yelling here, it's more refreshing to jump directly into the lake and swim around."

"But I want to tell you!" Shangguan Fuxue said loudly.

At that moment, he smiled cunningly, made a trumpet shape with his hands, and yelled loudly: "The surname Liang is a big fool!"

Nangong Lieyan turned around and took a deep look at her, "You should be careful. Liangxiang's eyes and ears are all over the world. If this word reaches his ears, be careful—you can't eat it and walk around!"

"Don't scare me! Can there be his eyes and ears in this lake?!"

"Don't believe me?" Nangong Lieyan frowned, but turned the oar in his hand, picking something up, "Look!"

Shangguan Fuxue looked intently, but saw an extremely ugly toad landed on the boat, puffed its cheeks, jumped awkwardly, and looked at her blankly.

Shangguan Fuxue was used to seeing all kinds of poisons in her previous life, so she was naturally not afraid, but she took two steps back in disgust.She was so annoyed that she raised her foot and kicked the toad flying, and flew straight towards Nangong Lieyan's head.

Something fell on Nangong Lieyan's head, and he croaked, he knew it was the toad kicked back by Shangguan Fuxue without looking at it.But because Shangguan Fuxue was in a good mood, he deliberately ignored it.

The toad probably saw that he had landed on a very high place, his eyes rolled back and forth, and he looked around for a long time, but he couldn't see what happened.It jumped up and down on Nangong Lieyan's head.

The night was hazy, but Shangguan Fuxue could see it clearly, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Nangong Lieyan smiled and took the toad off its head and threw it into the water.Then rowed the boat out of the lotus pond.

After leaving the lotus pond, there is an open water area, where the water flows in one place, but it is not in a hurry.

Nangong Lieyan saw that the flow of the lake was relatively stable, so she simply put the oars aside.He took Shangguan Fuxue and sat down in the boat tent.

Shangguan Fu Xue silently stared at him for a while, "Nangong Lieyan, why did you appear here?"

Nangong Lieyan smiled ambiguously: "It was so comfortable to sleep next to Xiaoxue'er that day. I thought so hard at night that I wanted to go to you. Who knows, you couldn't sleep, and you sneaked out to relax. Me, I secretly followed. "

Shangguan Fuxue curled her lips, and didn't bother to blame him for being thick-skinned anymore, she lowered her eyelashes and said, "Today is May Day, is there no one in the house to accompany you for the festival?"

Nangong Lieyan leaned against her, his face a little lonely, "I have lived for so many years, and no one has ever specially celebrated the May Festival with me. It was during the day, and I walked around the palace. It was a family banquet, But all of them are 'relatives' who flatter their beards and only fake smiles, which is the same as usual entertainment."

"What about your parents?"

"He died a long time ago." Nangong Lieyan said lightly, and looked at her in a blink of an eye, "You don't know?"

Shangguan Fuxue shook her head, "What's going on?"

Nangong Lieyan remained silent for a while, her eyes fixed on one spot, but she took out two zongzi from her clothes, and brought them to her, "One is red bean, the other is wrapped in meat, which one should I eat?"

Shangguan Fuxue was taken aback for a moment, then said casually, "I want to eat meat."

Nangong Lieyan stuffed one for her, and he peeled off his own, stuffed it into his mouth, and took a bite, "It happened five years ago."

Shangguan Fuxue also peeled off the zongzi and took a bite, but it was from red beans, she didn't ask any questions, she just waited for him to speak, but he didn't speak for a while.

Seeing Shangguan Fuxue looking at him, Nangong Lieyan was stunned, as if he realized that the one he ate was wrapped in meat, he frowned, and didn't say anything, he reached out and exchanged Shangguan Fuxue's zongzi, and continued to be fine Slowly eating mouthful like a child...

Shangguan Fuxue slowly lowered her head, looking at the zongzi that had been replaced in her hand.She couldn't see anything clearly in the night, but she clearly seemed to see strands of silver on it.

Just thinking about it with her toes, she knew—that was clearly—the saliva of Nangong Lieyan!

Seeing that she didn't eat, Nangong Lieyan didn't seem to notice the problem, and explained: "When I came out, I grabbed two in the kitchen. Silhouette said, one is bean paste and the other is meat. But I didn't tell you Said, what is the mark on it. Therefore, it is not surprising that I took the wrong one. "

Shangguan Fuxue, on the other hand, clearly had a dumbfounded expression, coupled with an expression of disgust, she pouted at him very unhappy.

Only then did Nangong Lieyan come to his senses. He leaned over and looked at the rice dumpling carefully, "It's my son's saliva. It's non-toxic and harmless. You can eat it with confidence."

Shangguan Fuxue immediately gave him an expression of "I'm convinced you", and stuffed the zongzi back into his hand, "I don't want to eat anything you've bitten!"

Nangong Lieyan looked puzzled, "I've already eaten Xiao Xue'er's saliva, what else do you have to worry about?"

Shangguan Fuxue rolled her eyes at him, "You ate it yourself! I didn't ask you to eat it! What's more, you have no face or skin, why do you have to drag me along?!"

Nangong Lieyan frowned, stared deeply at her for a while, and finally couldn't help stretching out his hand to pinch her face, stuffed the rice dumpling in his hand into her mouth, and pinched her cheek to force her to bite.

Shangguan Fuxue's jaw was forced to move, and she took a bite of the rice dumpling.For an instant, his eyes widened.

Nangong Lieyan raised his eyebrows, "You have eaten too, we are even!"

It really is excellent!
