Only then did Chu Qing take a closer look at the ordinary-looking and ordinary-looking woman in front of her. She had long heard that Brother Xuanyuan had a fiancée who was married to her fingertips, and she was always pestering Brother Xuanyuan. It turned out to be such an ordinary woman. It's no wonder that Brother Xuanyuan doesn't look down on her, she is not her opponent at all. Not paying attention to Murong Shuqing, Chu Qing did not pay attention to her anymore, but said casually, "That's it, no wonder."
Such obvious disdain made Song Lingqiu frown, but Murong Shuqing still smiled and stood quietly. Compared with Dongxue's beauty and Chuqing's beauty, her appearance was indeed ordinary. What to be angry about.
Chu Qing didn't block her mouth. She didn't know what unpleasant words she would say. Song Lingqiu changed the subject and said, "It's time to eat. Princess, please take your seat."
Judging that Murong Shuqing was not qualified to compete with her, Chu Qing stopped looking at her, smiled and helped Song Lingqiu to the throne, and said, "Aunt Qiu, don't be polite to me, sit down."
Song Lingqiu was no longer polite, sat down on the main seat, waved to Murong Shuqing beside him and smiled, "Shu Qing, come to my side."
Chu Qing was slightly displeased, but she didn't show it. It seemed that Aunt Qiu liked this Murong Shuqing very much, but it didn't matter, as long as brother Xuanyuan didn't like it.
Chu Qing looked out the door anxiously and asked, "Aunt Qiu, aren't you waiting for Brother Xuanyuan?" She waited for an afternoon, just wanting to see him.
Song Lingqiu brought some side dishes to Murong Shuqing and replied, "Who knows when he will come back, let's eat first."
Not waiting for Xuanyuan Yi, Chu Qing was a little disappointed. She tasted the side dish in front of her delicately and gracefully, nodded her head in satisfaction, and greeted warmly, "Miss Murong, eat more, you're welcome." Hmph, this The Xuanyuan family's wife must be her.
Murong Shuqing replied softly, "Thank you, princess." The princess' demeanor was indeed elegant and grand, but it was a pity that the little girl was also spoiled since she was a child, and she didn't know the way of the world. Sitting there.
The unpleasant atmosphere did not last long, Xuanyuan Yi stepped into the front hall with a tall and straight figure, Chu Qing saw him first, and exclaimed happily, "Brother Xuanyuan!" She finally waited for him and wanted to stand up to greet him. , Due to her status, rules, and the shyness of girls, Chu Qing could only look at him affectionately.
Glancing at the people at the table, Xuanyuan Yi did not look at Chu Qing, who was shy and full of joy, but stared at the only figure at the table who was still enjoying himself, and said coldly, "Why are you here?"
After seeing her in Qingfenglou last night, he thought about whether he should go to Qi's house to find her, which made him annoyed for a day, but she drank tea and ate at his house safely. Why didn't this make him depressed
Murong Shuqing slowly raised her head and met Xuanyuan Yi's stern eyes. She didn't seem to have offended him, did she
Murong Shuqing didn't speak, but Song Lingqiu couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Yi'er, what are you asking, why can't Shu Qing come?"
Xuanyuan Yi didn't speak anymore, but a pair of sharp eyes kept staring at Murong Shuqing. Murong Shuqing was seen as inexplicable. She came here on the appointment, and she should not have offended his eldest young master. Such "emotional" eyes should not be used on her, right
Brother Xuanyuan came in until now, and his attention was all on that Murong Shuqing, without even looking at her, Chu Qing no longer cared about being shy, got up and pulled Xuanyuan Yi's sleeve and let him sit beside her, She said coquettishly, "Brother Xuanyuan, you haven't eaten yet, so sit down and eat with us."
Xuanyuan Yi raised his hand slightly and pulled back his sleeve, Dong Xue had already prepared tableware and chopsticks for him thoughtfully, put a bowl of warm soup in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Young master, drink the bowl first. Soup."
It was Murong Shuqing just now, but now another beautiful maid came, Chu Qing frowned, put a lot of chicken wrapped in lotus leaf in front of her and put it in Xuanyuan Yi's bowl, and said flatteringly, "Brother Xuanyuan, you eat this, this is good. Eat." She just wanted Brother Xuanyuan to only look at her.
Their dishes came and went, it was so lively, Murong Shuqing smiled secretly and glanced at Xuanyuan Yi, whose face was slowly turning dark, the volcano was about to erupt, but the two beauties seemed to be unaware, still serving with all their hearts. He eats.
Dong Xue took the dish from Chu Qing, carefully peeled off the lotus leaf, picked out the chicken bone, and brought it to Xuanyuan Yi.
Seeing her diligently and meticulously taking care of the food, Chu Qing took a breath and put it in the Xuanyuanyi bowl. She said sweetly, "Brother Xuanyuan, this is delicious too." !
"I have my own hands." Dong Xue was about to pick out the fishbone when a low scolding stopped the two busy little hands.
"Cough-cough-cough!" The two of them scrambled to serve Xuanyuan Yi's meal. Murong Shuqing thought it was very funny. It turned out that "the hardest thing to endure the grace of a beautiful woman" is how to understand it. Xuanyuan Yi's livid face turned the smile on Murong Shuqing's lips into a few light coughs, but the raised eyebrows and the smile on the corners of his lips attracted Xuanyuan Yi's deep and stern glares. Murong Shuqing pretended not to know, ignored his pressing gaze, and continued to lower his head to taste the food.
Xuanyuan Yi's soft snort caused Dong Xue to quietly retreat behind him and stopped talking. Even Chu Qing was too frightened to speak out due to his gloomy face. In this atmosphere, only Murong Shuqing and Song Lingqiu were completely silent. Unaffected, eating happily, joking and laughing from time to time, completely pretending that Xuanyuan Yi does not exist.
When he was full and the play was almost over, Murong Shuqing got up and smiled at Song Lingqiu: "It's getting late, Shu Qing is leaving."
Before Song Lingqiu could reply, nor did Murong Shuqing react, Xuanyuan Yi had already taken her by the arm and walked out the door, leaving the three people in the front hall looking at each other with different expressions.
Murong Shuqing followed Xuanyuan Yi out of the house. The pain in her arm made her frown slightly, but she didn't make a sound. Whoever said that a woman's heart is a needle in the sea is equally hard to guess the mind of a man.
When the two got into the carriage, Murong Shuqing's hands were free, rubbing his arms lightly while leaning on the soft couch, waiting for Xuanyuan Yi to vent his inexplicable anger. After a long time, Xuanyuan Yi just sat quietly, without saying a word, a pair of quiet star eyes stared out the window, the cold and arrogant handsome face was no longer covered with dark clouds, but he couldn't tell what he was thinking. Murong Shuqing also frowned, Xuanyuan Yi was very different today.
The carriage drove slowly in the quiet night, the horses hooves kicked on the flagstone road, and the two people in the carriage were relatively speechless.
After a long time, Xuanyuan Yi's low and magnetic voice broke the silence of the room, "Dong Xue, it's my wet nurse's daughter." He didn't know why he was talking to her, he just wanted to tell her about Dong Xue. identity. At dinner, she irritated him with her nonchalant look, but why? Did he expect her to be jealous? Doesn't he hate jealous women the most? Murong Shuqing, why did he not look like him in front of her
His sudden words made Murong Shuqing a little stunned. Dong Xue was indeed a gentle and quiet girl. Looking up at Xuanyuan Yi who was still looking out the window, Murong Shuqing asked in a low voice, "She is already your concubine?"
"No." Dong Xue and him are also childhood sweethearts. No man dislikes her tenderness, her sensibleness, and her thoughtfulness. He originally planned to marry her as a side room after breaking off the marriage. However, he successfully broke off the marriage, but it was the indifferent figure who often occupied his mind.
no
"That Princess Chuqing..."
Xuanyuan Yi said disdainfully, "I'm not interested in this kind of royal marriage." Although he was also in the imperial court, he kept a distance from the royal family.
Murong Shuqing suddenly felt a little funny, is he explaining it to her? Although his awkward explanation made her heart feel slightly happy, after all, he was such a domineering and proud man, and he always disdain and need no explanation. Murong Shuqing sighed softly, a woman's fatal vanity really happens from time to time.
With their current relationship, he doesn't seem to need to explain this to her, after all, they have broken off their marriage. Murong Shuqing said, "You don't need to tell me these."
Her words succeeded in angering Xuanyuan Yi again, only to see him squinting slightly, and said dangerously, "I said, after returning to Beijing, we will prepare for our marriage." She obviously didn't take what he said to heart.
marriage? He was still so domineering, and Murong Shuqing didn't care about him, just said word by word, "Let me remind you once again that we have broken off our engagement."
"You just don't want to marry me?!" He didn't understand why she resisted marrying him so much. Is he so unbearable in her heart
"Why do you have to marry me?" If Xuanyuan Yi fell in love with her, it seemed unreasonable; if not, why was he so stubborn in this matter
Why? Xuanyuan Yi couldn't answer for a while, he only knew that he would often think of her, miss her indifferent smile, miss her lazy and casual style, he only knew that his body and his mind were clamoring for her .
In the end, his answer was reduced to three words, "I want you!"
want? Murong Shuqing was silent. Are they going to be entangled in this issue forever? After transmigrating into this body, this entanglement with him is doomed. After thinking for a moment, Murong Shuqing said, "Okay, tonight we will open up the conversation, think clearly, why do you want me, I will also tell you, What do I want."
To him, she is not completely indifferent, his handsomeness, his unruly, his talent, his persistence, his whispering in his ear, and even sometimes domineering, all knock on her heart from time to time. And she is no longer a 17- or 18-year-old girl. She knows what she wants for love. Today, she will give him and herself a chance.
Meeting Xuanyuan Yi's waiting gaze, Murong Shuqing said earnestly, "For me, love is only a part of life, no, I indulge in landscapes and come and go freely; yes, I cherish fate and stick to each other. However, that person , you must know me, understand me, love me, pity me. In his world, we each have their own piece of sky, but we can hold our hands tightly and fly together. We don't need wings to protect me from the wind and rain, but only need the wind and rain to follow .But in this world, there can only be room for two people."
After she finished speaking, the car fell silent again. Murong Shuqing no longer looked at him, but leaned back on the soft couch. She had finished what she had to say, and it was not her who had to worry about it.
Xuanyuan Yi looked at Murong Shuqing with a complicated expression. After a long time, he said with certainty, "You want me to marry only you."
Although he didn't understand the full meaning of what she was trying to express, he could hear the precondition.
"No!" Murong Shuqing shook his head lightly, "My husband can only marry one." She couldn't control how many he wanted to marry, but if he insisted on marrying her, he could only marry one.
The two looked at each other silently for a long time, until the carriage slowly stopped, and Lu Yi's voice came from outside the car, "Miss, it's here."
Murong Shuqing retracted his gaze, got up and passed him, and got off the carriage. Xuanyuan Yi did not hold her, but when she was about to step into the Qi residence, he whispered, "Murong Shuqing."
This was the first time Xuanyuan Yi called her by her first name. Murong Shuqing didn't look back, she still turned her back to him, but stopped.
Xuanyuan Yi's firm voice came from behind him, "I still don't fully understand what you mean, but I have written it down."
The carriage turned around and disappeared into the night.
The moonlight tonight is not bright, but it is enough to lengthen Murong Shuqing's thin figure, she gently raised the corner of her lips and walked into the Qi residence.
It was not too late, but no one was walking around in the Qi Mansion, and a few small lamps were lit on the winding path, barely able to illuminate the road ahead. Murong Shuqing walked very slowly along the path, and Lu Yi, who was behind him, followed from a distance, thoughtfully not making a sound.
There is no tea fragrance in the courtyard of Pinecui Xiaosu, and the simple grass scent is also intoxicating. Halfway through, Murong Shuqing stopped, stepped on the neat and soft grass by the roadside, rested her arms on her arm, and lay down casually. Looking up at the night sky, the moon tonight is unknown, there are few stars, the sky is not dark blue, it seems that there is no value for appreciation.
Murong Shuqing closed her eyes gently, and the autumn wind was getting colder, making her jet-black hair move freely. It's been a long time since she listened to Feng Pinyue like this. Tonight, her heart is restless.
