Murong Shuqing gently stroked his forehead, he knew for a long time that many things could not be hidden from his grandfather, but unexpectedly, he even knew about Xuantian. Using tea to cover up the helplessness on his face, not knowing how to explain the chaos, Murong Shuqing had no choice but to reply embarrassingly, "At the moment, it's only half."
Half, good half, Qi Zhonglin sipped the fragrant tea lightly, and sighed in his heart, she went to Linfengguan, he naturally knew what was going on, and it was not that he didn't understand, he was worried about her safety along the way, and he was more concerned about her whereabouts Be mindful. Unexpectedly, wherever the little girl went, it was not peaceful. She fell off the cliff and was robbed for a while, and let his old heart sway with her all day long. Although Qi Zhonglin complained, in fact, he was extremely satisfied with this granddaughter who appeared in vain, and was proud of her.
He didn't expect that there was actually a love between this girl and the current emperor. Looking at Xuan Tiancheng's actions, he was afraid that he had a deep-rooted love for her. If this is the case, Xuanyuan Yi's preparation for the wedding will be full of twists and turns.
Even he felt a headache, but she was fine, and smirked and accompany him to drink tea and chat here. Gently pushing away the tea leaves, Qi Zhonglin scolded lightly, "You little girl, you like to play with fire." Having said that, the old man's face had an expression of waiting for a good show.
Holding the teacup, Murong Shuqing said dumbfoundedly, "I was wronged." She must have been thrown sparks on her body.
Ignoring her pitiful appearance, Qi Zhonglin asked cheerfully, "Have you decided what to do?" He wanted to know how Murong Shuqing would solve the emperor's big problem.
"Still thinking."
"Still thinking?" Qi Zhonglin shook his head with a half-smile but not a smile, and sighed, "This is not your style." Based on his observation of Murong Shuqing during this period of time, she was well organized and generally prepared. battle. Today you said you didn't think so? This is surprising.
Murong Shuqing sighed, put down the teacup in his hand, sat cross-legged on the soft couch, resting his chin in his hand and replied, "It's good to plan ahead, but life always likes to surprise me, so I can only take advantage of the situation. For." With her grandfather, she felt very relaxed and could think about nothing for the time being.
Seeing her sloppy appearance, Qi Zhonglin laughed loudly. In the midst of the old and young laughing and making a noise, Yu Jian gently knocked on the door, and when both of them looked at him, Yu Qian said respectfully, "Master, the imperial decree is here."
This is too fast, she has just entered the Qi Mansion. Murong Shuqing sighed and smiled at Qi Zhonglin: "Look, the surprise is here again."
I don't know, what is Xuan Tiancheng doing this time, it's no wonder that Zhong Yan didn't chase them at all in the past two days. It turned out that they were one step ahead in chess, and the imperial decree was already waiting for her at the door of the house.
The two stood up in tacit understanding, anyway, now it is - soldiers come to block, water comes to cover.
Qi Zhonglin and Murong Shuqing walked into the front hall slowly and leisurely. They saw two people sitting in the hall. They were dressed in splendid clothes. Although they had waited for a long time, there was no unpleasant expression on their faces. When they saw Qi Zhonglin coming in, they all stood up immediately. , bowed to him in a salute. The man standing at the front had a white face, and he should be the father-in-law who came to announce the decree. He first bowed to Qi Zhonglin before saying respectfully, "Old Prime Minister, please accept the decree."
I saw Qi Zhonglin nodded casually, half-bent, waiting for someone to announce the decree. Murong Shuqing sighed secretly, it turned out that the grandfather did not need to kneel when he received the decree and faced the saint. It seems that the friendship between the grandfather and the late emperor must have been unusual. Grandpa could not kneel, but she didn't have such a good life. Murong Shuqing leaned down helplessly and knelt behind Qi Zhonglin, waiting to hear the holy will.
The man stood tall and read the imperial decree aloud, "Fengtian, the emperor decreed: The Qi family has a daughter Murong, who is smart, bright, virtuous and virtuous. It is a good match to marry the general of the town. Today, Murong Shuqing is specially called to enter. Palace, study etiquette for March, in preparation for the big wedding. Tomorrow at noon, I will see you in the palace. I respect this." The voice that was too loud sounded sharp and a little harsh.
Murong Shuqing lowered his head and frowned slightly, studying etiquette? What does Xuan Tiancheng want to do? Looking at his imperial decree, it seems that he did not find a reason to exempt her from the marriage gift to Xuanyuan Yi, but to delay the time
He even asked her to enter the palace on the high-sounding reason of studying etiquette. There is indeed such a tradition in ancient times. The emperor granted marriage and allowed the bride to enter the palace to learn royal etiquette. It's just that not all the brides that the emperor gave to marry have this honor to enter the palace, and the time is still unprecedented. This "great glory" really made Murong Shuqing laugh and cry. Xuan Tiancheng directly sent the imperial edict to the Qi family, so she couldn't even try to evade it.
"Long live, long live, my emperor."
Qi Zhonglin's calm voice pulled Murong Shuqing's thoughts back, and he said in a low voice, "Long live, long live, my emperor."
The man handed the imperial decree into Qi Zhonglin's hands, and immediately bowed and smiled, "Congratulations to Xiang Xiang, and congratulations to Miss Murong." The Qi family married the Xuanyuan family, and after that, their position in the court was even more unbreakable.
Qi Zhonglin handed the imperial decree to the servants beside him, and politely responded, "Thank you, father-in-law." The words were addressed to the man, but he looked at Murong Shuqing without any traces of his eyes, and saw that she was slowly and unhurriedly. He got up with a relaxed smile on his face. He guessed that Xuanyuan Yi would not be able to laugh when he heard the news.
The man quickly cupped his hands and replied, "Don't dare."
Qi Zhonglin waved his hand and said to Yu Zhi who was beside him, "Yu Zhi, send off your father-in-law."
"Yes, father-in-law, please."
"Retire."
When only Qi Zhonglin and Murong Shuqing were left in the front hall, Qi Zhonglin smiled as if gloating: "How is it? Have you figured it out now?" Xuan Tiancheng had already made his move, and then it would be up to the girl to deal with it.
Murong Shuqing shook his head amusingly. Grandpa's current appearance was completely different from the majesty he had when he received the decree just now. Murong Shuqing shrugged indifferently, but still replied lazily, "Not yet."
Walking in front of her, Qi Zhonglin stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Do you want grandpa to help you think about it?"
Grandpa laughed so strangely that Murong Shuqing immediately shook his head and replied, "No, it's just that Grandpa can help you when necessary." Grandpa is already very old, and it's okay for him to adjust his life for these things. She was reluctant to let her grandfather work hard for her.
Qi Zhonglin laughed and patted Murong Shuqing on the shoulder, and said, "It seems that you still think about it." He is old, and now it is the world of young people, so let her handle it herself. When he was young, it didn't come from the wind or the waves. Now, he just needs to wait and watch a good show to see who is the best in chess.
Has she made up her mind? maybe. Murong Shuqing took Qi Zhonglin's hand and said with a smile, "I just want to eat now."
An old and a small chatted and walked to the flower hall.
Spring in the capital came so fast. After the snowy winter, the new green is only a little bit, but it still makes people feel refreshed, full of imagination and yearning for the coming spring.
On the top of Lingshan Mountain, the footsteps of spring seem to come a little late, and I can't see the exciting light green. Fortunately, the top of the mountain is surrounded by tall trees that are evergreen all year round, and the refreshing atmosphere still surrounds people all the time. Under a cedar tree, the man leaned against the trunk. He seemed to be holding something in his arms. Upon closer inspection, it was a sleeping woman. The man wrapped the woman in his arms with a robe and gently stroked her from time to time. Stretch out the hair that has been ruffled by the wind.
When the first ray of red glow strongly pierced through the clouds and dyed the sky red, Xuanyuan Yi patted Murong Shuqing's face and whispered, "Qing'er, get up, the sun is up." Xuanyuan Yi took Doted on her, calling her softly over and over again. I have never seen a woman who likes to sleep so much. When Yin Shi went to find her, he almost got into a fight with her guard. Who would have thought that getting her up was the most difficult task. With Yi's help, it took almost half an hour for her to get up reluctantly. Originally thought it would be fine to go out, but when he went out, he realized that he did not accept Lu Yi's advice and let the carriage follow. After a while, she actually fell asleep in his arms. The jolt of the horse seemed to be right. She had no influence at all, causing him to be frightened along the way.
"En." Murong Shuqing finally gave a faint reply, opened his eyes slowly, and saw Xuanyuan Yi looking at her amusingly. Murong Shuqing moved his body slightly, sat up, made a low voice, and greeted him freely, "Morning."
Stretching, she seems to have woken up so early except when she was studying and camping. After arriving in EAST, she has never woken up before four o'clock.
Murong Shuqing squinted slightly and saw that the sun in the distance had already revealed a small half, and the fiery red light was dipping into the sky little by little. Although he likes more sunsets, Murong Shuqing is still fascinated by the different changes of the morning sun. The red cloud is like a gauze, gracefully brushing in the sky, the silent dawn, and the gentle breeze blowing on your face make you feel that everything in the world, at this moment, seems to be only me, Murong Shuqing sighed: "It's so beautiful."
Xuanyuan Yi looked at her intoxicated by the glow of the clouds and seemed to be enjoying herself, and smiled: "If you like, we can often watch the sunrise." It was just a little harder to get her up, but the rest was beautiful.
Murong Shuqing coughed lightly and said with a wry smile, "The morning sun is indeed beautiful, but can you try watching the sunset next time?" God, do you often get up at four in the morning? It would be a terrible disaster for her.
Xuanyuan Yi laughed, it seems that from now on, he will change the habit of watching the sunrise to watching the sunset.
While speaking, the sun had completely broken through the clouds and slowly rose. Murong Shuqing rubbed his eyes, lay down in Xuanyuan Yi's arms again, and said softly, "I'll sleep for a while, you wake me up before the hour."
Xuanyuan Yi helped her stroke the long hair that was being held down by her, and said with a smile, "Sleep as long as you want, and I can accompany you to sleep as long as you want."
Murong Shuqing moved his head to make himself sleep more comfortable, and whispered softly, "I also really want to, but I have to enter the palace at noon." The crime of cheating.
Xuanyuan Yi, who had been listening carefully to her words, suddenly froze, his face instantly darkened with clouds, and the hand that caressed Murong Shuqing's hair was still soft. Xuanyuan Yi frowned and asked in a low voice, "Why?"
Xuanyuan Yi's suddenly stiff body let Murong Shuqing know that next, I was afraid that there would be an explanation, but she still lay comfortably and explained: "As soon as I went back yesterday, the imperial edict was waiting there, calling me into the palace. A study of royal protocol for three months."
"Don't go."
not allowed to go
Murong Shuqing opened his eyes gently, saw a pair of angry eyes as expected, slowly sat up straight, but still leaned in Xuanyuan Yi's arms, smiled and said meekly, "Yes, husband has the final say."
Seeing the gentle smile between her brows, Xuanyuan Yi sighed secretly, and said with some annoyance, "What are you thinking about?" Know the essence of perfunctory. He was getting to know her better and better, and if you thought her gentle smile was a compromise, you were wrong.
Seeing how he looked like he was facing a great enemy, Murong Shuqing couldn't help laughing softly, winked at him, and said innocently, "If you marry a chicken, you will follow a chicken, if you marry a dog, you will follow a dog. Don't go."
Holding Murong Shuqing's shoulders and making her sit up straight and look at him, Xuanyuan Yi said earnestly, "Qing'er, I'm not trying to limit what you do, but worry about you." Xuan Tiancheng's intentions were already obvious. Qing'er entered the palace to be in danger, how could he not be worried or heartache
Looking at the worried eyes in front of her, Murong Shuqing felt a warm current slowly flowing in her heart, she raised a shallow smile, and said lightly, "I understand what you mean, it's just that this royal marriage is a request to study etiquette. What I said is justifiable. In the eyes of everyone, it is the emperor's great favor for the Qi family and the Xuanyuan family. If they disobey the decree, the result will be—" They are all people who know politics and the court well, and the result is naturally unspoken. And metaphor.
That's right, disobeying the decree will only give Xuan Tiancheng a more high-sounding reason to punish the Qing'er and the Qi family. It is very likely that this reason will be used to withdraw the marriage.
Pulling up the shawl on Murong Shuqing's body, Xuanyuan Yi said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I won't fight with Xuan Tiancheng, I will let my mother enter the palace with you at noon, and after entering the palace, go directly to the Queen Mother's Palace. , in this harem, the queen mother is the real master. Studying etiquette is a matter of the harem. It is normal to meet the queen mother directly. If you ask to live in the harem, it will be safer. I will also enter the palace. Miansheng, I won't let you stay in that palace for three months." This is a war between men, so let him do it.
The low voice, accompanied by the sound of the wind, entered my ears and also fell into my heart.
She was also really reluctant to enter the palace, but Xuan Tiancheng pressed her with royal majesty and the respect of the Son of Heaven. Unless she can let go of Murong's house and Qi's house, otherwise, she has to go. Now that there is Xuanyuan Yi, then leave it to him, he is the man she chose, and I believe that he is such a simple matter. Murong Shuqing nodded happily, and replied with a chuckle, "Okay, I'll leave everything to your husband."
Knowing that she was really willing to hand over this matter to him, Xuanyuan Yi felt a little better, and said softly, "Sleep a little longer, I'll call you now."
Murong Shuqing could not ask for it. Seeing that she seemed to be able to fall asleep in an instant, Xuanyuan Yi shook his head amusingly, and reluctantly covered her with a cape, but he didn't know that the smile on his lips revealed too much tenderness.
